"blueberres for sal" is one my all-time favorite children's books...i can't think of the author's name :)

I think I remember Sarah talking about that book before. She and Marc read it together while they were dating or something? I'll have to look that one up.

Quinton and I both love the Elephant and Piggie books by Mo Willems. Mo Willems used to write for Sesame Street and his books have that same quality of being funny for the parents as well as the kids.

However, they don't have s retro aesthetic that you like, but they do have a style all their own.

You can totally tell that I buy books based on their illustrations, can't you?

We actually had "There is a Bird on your Head!" by Mo Willems and really liked it, but one night Winnie tore it into tiny shreds. I've been thinking we should get more of that series, though.

Pretty much all of our current books are very contemporary illustrators (Sandra Boynton, Rob Scotton) so I've been looking for books with retro illustration to kind of balance out our collection. I love Alain Gree, Dagmar Wilson and Jan Balet, but their books are really hard to find!
