101 Picture Books No Child Should Miss

A friend of mine at the State Library posted this on Facebook this week, and I thought it was great. Here's the link if you are interested, but I thought I would post the list here. The ones highlighted are the ones I've read, which I'm sorry to say isn't that many. I have read versions of some of them, but not the specific ones they listed. I did not read Crichtor by Tomi Ungere, though I have read The Beast of Monsieur Racine and enjoyed that.
