I couldn't agree more. More than 90% of the children's books you find in a bookshop (in Germany at least, but I imagine it's similar elsewhere) are terrible: terrible writing, badly rhymed, cheap computer-aided illustrations, facile educational content that no-one needs, etc On the other hand, when you find good authors like Leo Lionni (start with Frederick), it's amazing because it's as much fun for the parents as it is for the kids. Other wonderful authors include Toni Ungerer (The Three Robbers). Any other recommendations?
