Parents of the rising first grade class were encouraged to read to their children at least 20 minutes a night during the summer - excellent advice for everyone. Of course, the possibilities of picture books to read are seemingly limitless, but if you are a person who loves a book list, check out the lists from the New York City Public Library. I am particularly intrigued by "100 Picture Books Everyone Should Know." The list contains a number of classics - many that I read and loved as a child, and read to my own children - such as Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day and Where the Wild Things Are. Some are more recent, like Olivia and Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type. Enjoy:

I found the list has been updated to include more specific lists, such as strong princesses, trains, non-fiction and grade-by-grade recommendations... which can be found here:
