10 Best Read-Aloud Picture Books

Each one of these books is not only a great stories with some amazing illustration, but they are a blast to read aloud. Even as an adult I have fun reading them and sharing them. And at no point have I ever gotten tired of them, even when a three-year-old girl begged me to read Pigeon three times in a row before she would go to bed. Or when my little brother asked for Wild Things every night for a month solid. Or when I found myself humming Paint days later.

Well, you get the point. So here are the best of the best. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
