Around these parts, we like to bury our nose in a book or two. These are our top 10 picture book picks. They are not ranked in any particular order, and I have to admit that many come from my childhood days of reigning best picture books. Half of them are pure wit and humor, but they teach fundamental life lessons too. My personal favorite? Science Verse. We all know Jon Scieszka from his best-seller, The Stink Cheese Man, but his genius definitely didn't stop there! Here is a poem from Science Verse to start out your day, titled "Amoeba":

Don't ever tease a wee amoeba
By calling him a her amoeba.
And don't call her a him amoeba.
Or never he a she amoeba.
'Cause whether his or hers amoeba,
They too feel like you and meba.
