THE TOP 20 PICTURE BOOKS
new to me in 2022
After completing a most delightful quest to read 100 new-to-me pictures books this year, I present to you my top 20. Nerd alert - I used my picture book spreadsheet and a random number generator to determine the order that follows.
Happy reading!

The use of interrupted rhyme is amusing and clever. The illustrations are textured and adorable. The #1 book I gave as a birthday present this year.

A delightful surprise! The rhyming is fun, the story is fun, and the illustrations are great.

The expressions on Miller's characters are always on point. An adorable take on hiding who we are when we're scared to be found.
