Great line-up of picture books,Catherine. Bet some will be on 2014’s list also. Thanks for sharing on the Kid Lit Blog Hop! Cheryl
I find it interesting that there are so many older books on the list, books that I have been familiar with since my student days!
I do love Kipper!
Kipper is an old favourite here 🙂
