My animals. With a daughter who is a veterinarian that‘s why we had so many animals. Only Abbey, the dog, is alive right now and she is very old. The cats were named Blackberry, Mulchbox and Mr. Zebra.

Andrew65 Such happy memories for you I‘m sure. ❤️ 2y
EadieB @Andrew65 yes animals can bring much joy to your life! 2y

As school begins I thought I should pay homage to the amazing children‘s author/illustrator Graeme Base. His illustrations are beautifully detailed and add a gorgeous visual element to his well crafted and unique stories.

A different take on an alphabet book with sentence-long descriptions and pages full of things that start with the letter! Some of the illustrations are bit overwhelming and some vocabulary could need explanation, but I liked how different this one was! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #bbrc #a2z #picturebooks

This is my #childhoodfavorite! It was given to me by my uncle when I was little. There were years where I had it completely memorized. I wish I still did, I should work on that.

This is such a cool book. Each letter gets an alliterative rhyme using animals getting up to all sorts of shenanigans. The lions in the library are my favorite. 😊😊😊 There‘s something new to discover each time you look at each page! (Especially a boy in a striped shirt!) 6/1,001 #1001ChildrensBooks

Texreader Gorgeous. Reminds me a little of my fave kids book 6y
AshleyHoss820 @Texreader How fun!! I‘m gonna have to add that one to my stack! 6y

This is one of my favorite picture books. I could look at it for hours and not get bored. The amazing detail in the artwork is just genius and I still see “new” finds every time I pour through the pages. #Ampersand2018

TamarackTrail I was in love with his book The Eleventh Hour... Super awesome 7y

This was one of my children's favorite #childhood reads. Each page was covered in intricate pictures of things that start with that letter, and had an alliterative sentence like "Lazy lions lounging in the local library." A beautiful #picturebook it was as much fun for the adult to read as it was for the kids. #riotgrams #readingwomenmonth @Liberty @thereadingwomen

Bedtime reading with my son. Amazing artwork and astounding alliteration! See what I did there? ;) This book is fun and beautiful at the same time. A top-shelf, every-night read!

SusanInTiburon I was given a copy 31 years ago, at a baby shower. I'm keeping it. 💚 8y
SusanInTiburon Oops - 21. 8y
readinginthedark @Susanintiburon It's definitely worth keeping! So beautiful and fun at the same time! :) 8y

This magnificent picture book kept my daughter and me busy for so many hours! The pictures are picaresque, detailed, endlessly inventive and exquisitely arcane! 25 years later we'll pull this out occasionally for some mother/daughter bonding and giggling.

SusanInTiburon That's the truth! We still have our copy, 21 years later. 9y
Sue One of my daughter's favourites. 9y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled I LOVED this! So much fun! 9y

stargazerblue49 I have been planning to buy a couple of his books when I start to have kids. I have a growing Amazon Wish List for my future babes that makes me feel a little crazy, but how else am I supposed to remember all the great children's books I hear about from my mommy friends?? 9y
SusanInTiburon @stargazerblue49 Not crazy at all! The books we read as children, and with children, are written on our hearts forever. 9y
SistaPip Graeme Base is a magician! What a wonderful way to foster a love of books 💕 9y
