We all know and love our classics like The Snowy Day, Corduroy, Where the Wild Things Are, and Goodnight Moon. Some of you probably received one or more of these as a baby gift. The Snowy Day was even confirmed as the most frequently borrowed book in the history of The New York Public Library! I’d like to recommend a lesser-known book by the authors of each of these books. They may not be classics, but they are just as worthy of reading. Some of them I enjoyed even more than their popular “sibling book!”
