Backwards look at books

Here is a list of some of the picture books I was slightly obsessed with when I was younger:

• Morris’s Disappearing Bag
• JAM
• The Plant Sitter
• Tony’s Hard Work Day
• The Worst Person In the World
• Tessa Snaps Snakes/My Farm
• Courdory
• Grandma and the Pirates
• Burglar Bill
• Peepo
• Pugwash the Pirate
• The Happy Lion
• The Digging-est Dog
• Go Dogs Go
• A Fish Out of Water
• Cricktor
• The Wild Washerwomen
• The Great Tasmanian Tiger Hunt

And some early novels…

• The Twits/George’s Marvelous Medicine/Fantastic Mr. Fox
