Children's Books You (Might) Hate - NYTimes.com

The New York Times Motherlode blog examines the book “The Giving Tree” (which I haven’t read in a long time), but ends the article asking…

What children’s picture books do you hate? Which ones do you love?

My Least Favorite: Goodnight Moon. I just don’t get why everyone loves this book. I’ve read it quite a bit these last four months, but I rarely pick it anymore.

My favorites: “The Going to Bed Book” by Sandra Boynton as a great bedtime book, and “Oliver Finds His Way” by Phyllis Root for it’s beautiful illustrations and good story. Highly recommended.
