I really like picture books, and in the summer time it is fun to just grab a big stack of these and sit down to read them.  This week, I saw an article where some people were trying to figure out which were the most beautiful picture books of all time. Click here to check out their choices.  Do you agree?  I agree that Chris Van Allsburg has some beautiful and really interesting books, and I love Animalia by Graeme Base and The Arrival by Shaun Tan (both of whom are Australian!).  Do you have a favorite picture book?  Which books do you think are the most beautiful?
