Thanks for mentioning Jon Klassen, I'll check it out. Our son absolutely loves busytown. We try to get most of our stuff second hand, the vast majority of books are terrible. And he knows. For at least 80 percent of the time, we are just re-reading busytown. And we have like 20 books or so that we might just as well get rid of. Another one we really like is the Gruffalo, by Julia Donaldson. A classic, which is also really fun to read as an adult. I wish I know of more of these kinds of high quality children books. Roald Dahl is another such writer who just doesn't care and writes what is fun for kids to read. I loved his books when I grew up. But its for a different age.
