Excellent Authors/Illustrators: All theme categories
Below is a list of well-known, reliable authors and illustrators. Each of them has published many books that will be obtainable in a bookshop or library. Almost anything written or drawn by these people is likely to be successful for your program. You will want to have several copies of at least one title in order to share reading as a group. Choose what appeals to you, collect a selection of titles, and be alert to books that display a sense of humor. Books for very young children often provide entertainment for both the reader and the baby.
