Our children, particularly Lion, love books. We go to the library and check out fifty books at a time and Lion devours them. He often wants to re-read the same ones over and over again, some of which we also enjoy and others that cause Mr. Dolphin and I to exchange a look.

Here are some of Mr. Dolphin and my favorite picture books (from the first 500 titles we’ve read to Lion), ones that we enjoy reading, have good illustrations, or a great twist (that the kids may or may not appreciate yet). These are also kid-approved and ones that Lion has wanted read multiple times, but they were probably more enjoyed by us than the kids.
