This week I am happy to be sharing two guest posts from my sister-in-law Eliza. She has great taste when it comes to books for children, and I’m adding these to our library check-out list!
We enjoy reading books together, though we have discovered that boys sometimes like different picture books than do girls. Here are 10 fun picture book authors that our boys enjoy.
Milo’s Hat Trick, Dimitri the Astronaut, Nothing, Terrific, The Retired Kid, and others
Dr. Seuss
Bartholomew and the Oobleck
Fox in Socks
Green Eggs and Ham
Bartholomew Cubbins and the 500 Hats
The King’s Stilts

Eliza is the mother of two boys and one girl, with another boy on the way. She has a Ph.D. in journalism and taught at Brigham Young University for several years, but now cares for her children full-time. Of all her mothering duties, she especially enjoys helping her children learn to read. In her few spare hours during the week, she reads the news and attends a weightlifting class (so, as she says, she can keep up with her children).

One of my boy's favorite set of books is by Kate & Jim McMullan: "I Stink!" about a garbage truck, "I'm Mighty!" about a tug boat, and "I'm Dirty!" about a digger truck. They have a new one out, "I'm Bad!" about a ravenous reptile/dinosaur, but we haven't read it yet. Thanks for adding to our list of boy books to read!
