I am a big fan of Simple Mom, a blog with a tag line that says it all: “Live simply, stay sane. Life hacks for home managers.”
Simple Mom compiled a terrific list of childrens book authors in a post entitled Ten Great Authors in Childrens Literature. It is definitely a great list to check out and bookmark.
I love all of the childrens book authors in the Simple Mom list, including my favorites Eric Carle, Arnold Lobel, Robert McCloskey and Margaret Wise Brown. Several authors omitted from the top ten were highlighted in the body of the post (Beverly Cleary, Laura Ingalls Wilder) or noted in the comments by Simple Mom readers (Shel Silverstein, Else Minarik and Jan Brett.) There was even a mini-debate in the comments about whether Dr. Seuss should have been on the list. (I vote “yes.”) Smart readers, those Simple Moms.
Shop for books by these favorite childrens book authors in the KidCrunch Store.
