Must have children´s book for personal collection?
-
@MimiHecher I think that Tomi Ungerer is essential to any children's book collection. My favorites as a child were Crictor and the Beast of Monsieur Racine, but the Three Bandits and Moon Man are also classics.
I also agree with Strega Nona, another one of my favorites growing up.
I also loved all the Pere Castor collections, in particular some like Poule Rousse by Etienne Morel and Roule Galette by Natha Caputo

@Mia-Clarke Had never heard of Go dog go before. Just looked at it and it is so going on the list
I am a huge dog lover! 
Thanks! -
@Mel-F
️ It’s a good one, but it was @Lisa-Clark who posted about that book, so I’ll forward the cred to her. -
@Mia-Clarke Haha! Yes I clicked on the wrong reply button
That book looks great! And the style is absolutely lovely. Haven´t heard of Birgitta before.
Dad is a cat lover, so I think he will approve this for night time stories. Thanks for the recommendation -
The Monster at the End of This Book was my favorite as a kid, and continues to be one of my favorites. It's one of the first picture books to break the fourth wall.
If you're looking for more Ryan T. Higgins recommendations (he's one of my all-time favorites), We Don't Eat Our Classmates and Hey, Bruce! are excellent. (And I think they're funnier than Mother Bruce.)
We Don't Eat Our Classmates is about Penelope Rex, the only dinosaur in a class full of human kids.
Hey, Bruce! features the mice from the Mother Bruce series -- they're going to write an interactive book and decide Bruce is going to help ... all Bruce wants to do is take a nap.

I will recommend all the books from Kobi Yamada. They are so full of truth and also comes to the point of what is really important. i gave some of his books as a present to some of my friends.

@Mel-F The Eleventh Hour by Graeme Base as well as his other animal books. The illustrations are completely gorgeous, and I loved looking at all of the animals as a child.

@Mel-F When I was a kid I loved Mo Williams, specifically his “Elephant and Piggie” books. I just love how the art in them are so simple. Ryan T. Higgins is one of my favorites as well.

@MerryMary I have a large collection of Graeme base! The sign of the sea horse was my fave as a kid
