A Very Abbreviated List of my Favorite (Board) Books
Maria Tatar asked some time back for a list of peoples' top ten picture books. After brainstorming, I found that my list was more than half board books. So, I filled out the rest of the list with board books and decided to do other kinds of books later.

What did Leo Leonni write, again?
You know, I put that in somewhat carelessly. The most famous of Leo Leonni's books is probably _Swimmy_; he has also written some great little board books. I definitely recommend him; but looking at the rest of the list, I realized that everything else on it had been thoroughly field-tested by me personally, whereas the Leonni books hadn't. Therefore: _Freight Train_, instead. Thanks for calling me on it!
This is a great list - thanks for reminding me of so many of these.
