101 Amazing Picture Books to Read to Your Child by the Toledo Library
This Picture Book Challenge was designed to provide children with a variety of books. Librarians chose 101 of their favorite picture books, from new titles to classics and everything in between. You can see this list online, I have provided a direct link on my website. You do not need to be a local library member to access this list. These book choices brought up many great conversations that we would not have had otherwise. It also introduced us to authors and titles we may never have come across otherwise.

Don’t miss the great opportunities your local library could be offering you, I urge you to go today.
