GREAT Picture Books for Li'l Boys (3-4 yrs)

A Listmania! list by Khyraen "Superintendent, Barlow Christian Academy" (CA, USA)
The list author says: "Reading aloud is so very important! However, there are many, many picture books, and quite a lot of them are poorly written and torture to read aloud.

They were chosen because they helped show my son that books are places where wonderful stories are told and incredible adventures take place."
