Favorite illustrated kids' books - PSA
Possibly the most I-wanna-share-it-with-everyone post I've read this week is the Freakonomics blog post with the simple question: "What's your favorite kiddie book?"
Um, yeah. Munsch has major success there. Including (especially?) his Love You Forever, which I must now hurry out to buy in several copies for some young folk who have my love, forever, and need to know it in plain speak. But also all. those. others.
It's also a pretty good list of must-translate books, for publishers and publisher wannabes around the world. Many of these really do translate well. Some fortunes will be made by that link. And much joy will be added to the world.
I must somewhat grudgingly admit that the comment thread on that post pretty much justifies the whole phenomenon of blogging. Well done, Freakonomics.

I nominate "Guess How Much I Love You" by by Sam McBratney and Anita Jeram. Not surprisingly, yet still to my chagrin, there are now all manner of spinoffs and such http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/105-7231757-4491637?initialSearch=1&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=guess+how+much+I+love+you.
I can picture the authors retired and sipping Margaritas in Montego Bay on the back of Nut Brown Hare...
