Picture books rock!

Here's an article about picture books and why older readers should still read them.

I have always loved picture books. One that I read many times when I was a kid was Caps for Sale. 

There are really great current ones too. I'll read any picture book by Mo Willems and Jon Scieszka. 

I love how illustrations in these books tell the story (and sometimes more) in picture books.
