Graeme Base is without a doubt one of my favorite author/illustrators. His book Animalia is one of my favorite picture books of all time.

The Lion's Paw
AuthorRobb White
ISBN0913122416
September 2019: I just edited this review a little bit because in my twenties, when I wrote this, I felt invisible on the internet: by which I mean, I wrote this carelessly and goofily and with more cussing than feels apt to me today, in my forties.

Pelle's New Suit
AuthorElsa Beskow
ISBN0863150926
I decided to read Elsa Beskow's delightful Pelle's New Suit in French, as Paul et son habit neuf because our public library system happens to have only the French version (and I am actively trying not to purchase so many picture books, mostly due to an ever-increasing lack of shelf space), and I absolutely...
