Piles of Picture Books

I like reading picture books.

I sit and take my time.

I listen to each story.

I listen to each rhyme.

I look at all the pictures.

I take a second look.

I enter each adventure

Inside each picture book.

I ride a magic carpet

To many different places.

I visit with the Wild Things

And other friendly faces.

I runaway with Bunny

Beneath the Goodnight Moon.

I stand in line with Madeline

And eat Green Eggs at noon.

I tag along with Corduroy.

I follow after Ping.

I lose myself each Snowy Day

And find myself each spring.

I like reading picture books.

Each one is like a friend.

When I finish each new book,

I like to start again!
