Take the 101 Picture Book Challenge

by Toledo Lucas County Public Library March 16, 2018
ShareTweetPin

The 101 Picture Book Challenge is here! Weโ€™ve chosen 101 Picture Books and we want you to read them, too! The Challenge is for anyone at any age. Librarians chose the list which includes classics, new titles and everything in between.

How Do You Take the 101 Picture Book Challenge?

To get started, register online. You can track your progress online or if you prefer a paper log booklet, pick one up at your neighborhood Library. The books are organized into categories but you can read the books in any order and at your own pace. When you read all 101 titles, you earn a free picture book (while supplies last).

Favorite Book on the 101 Picture Book Challenge List

Bark, George by Jules Feiffer

My favorite book on the list is โ€œBark, George,โ€ written and illustrated by Jules Feiffer. The book is hilarious and has been a favorite for years! I absolutely love sharing this book with kids – probably because I get to โ€˜moo,’ โ€˜meowโ€™ and โ€˜barkโ€™ with glee. Published in the late ’90s, this beloved new classic is a perfect title for the challenge.

Also available inย Read-Along Audio [Book on CD],ย DVD,ย eAudioย andย eVideo.

Reading Beyond The 101 Picture Book List

If you like the humor in โ€œBark, Georgeโ€ by Jules Feiffer , you may also like …

Petra by Marianna Coppo - picture book

โ€œPetraโ€ by Marianna Coppo

A little rock who believes she is a mountain has her perspective changed by a series of movements, including a dog playing fetch, a bird’s nest, a pond, and a little girl.

A Visitor for Bear by Bonny Becker - picture book

โ€œA Visitor for Bearโ€ by Bonny Becker

Bear is quite sure he doesn’t like visitors. He even has a sign. So when a mouse taps on his door one day, Bear tells him to leave. But when Bear goes to the cupboard to get a bowl, there is the mouse — small and gray and bright-eyed. In this slapstick tale that begs to be read aloud, all Bear wants is to eat his breakfast in peace, but the mouse — who keeps popping up in the most unexpected places — just won’t go away!

Itโ€™s a Tiger by David LaRochelle - picture book

โ€œItโ€™s a Tigerโ€ by David LaRochelle

Kids and parents alike will rejoice in this lively read-aloud picture book, as the main character runs into (and away from) a tiger over and over again as the plot gets sillier and sillier.

Also available in Audio [Book on CD] and eBook.

Marigold Bakes a Cake by Mike Malbrough - picture book

โ€œMarigold Bakes a Cakeโ€ by Mike Malbrough

Marigold the cat likes everything just so, but when he sets out to bake a perfect cake one Monday, he is interrupted by one finch, two pigeons and three loons.


This is the latest in aย seriesย of blog posts exploring some of the things we love about these books.
