When it comes to children’s books, it must not only have a good story line but also include graphics or pictures to capture the child’s imagination effectively. The following is the list of top 10 children’s books.
1. When Dinosaurs Came with Everything
This book is written by Elise Broach and illustrated by David Small. The story is about how a small boy’s errand day is changed using a novel promotional campaign, in which, for no vivid reason, he gets a dinosaur for everything. The story is narrated from the child’s point of view and is absurd at the same time simple.
2. Today I Will Fly
This book written and illustrated by Mo Willems is about an overtly optimistic pig and his elephant friend. The story book has very few lines per page and hence makes it easy for children to read. Much of the wit in the book comes through from the expressions and repetition of these two animals and their friends.
