Picture Book Timeline

On this website there is a time-line of different children books through out history. I do no really like the really old ones. I think they are just a little to old fashioned for me and do not spark my interest. However, once the years keep on going, the books start to appear more children like. I remember most of the children books because my mother used to read them to me every night before I went to bed. The Cat In the Hat books were my favorite. I just love the way he can rhyme everything. One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. Also, the book about green eggs and ham. I never really liked eggs. I think that is just because I read this story too many times and it started to gross me out. Green eggs? The just sounds disgusting. So I just never thought about trying them. It was only till a few years ago that I had my first egg. It was good! But you have to enjoy it with some orange juice. It is the perfect breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle is another great classic. That little caterpillar just keeps eating and eating everything around him until he gets so big he just sleeps for the longest time. This book taught me about the cycle of butterfly's. I thought that they were born like that, but it astonished me that they were actually something else before. It is kind of like a tad pole and a frog. It is the same thing only one is a baby and another an adult.
The Napping House by Audrey Wood is another one of my favorites. It was not on the website of children picture books but I just have to mention it. If you have not read it, it is about a house, a granny, a child, a dog, a cat and a mouse fall asleep one by one on top of each other. Then a flea wakes up everyone in the napping house. The house is not a napping house anymore. I do not know why it interest me so much. I like all of these books still today!
