As far as honor books, I have to throw in my vote for Tibet Through the Red Box and Starry Messenger by Peter Sis (though I may be biased because I did an author project on him in library school. I also love Seven Blind Mice by Ed Young, King Bidgood's in the Bathtub by Audrey Wood (a storytime favorite around here), and Frog and Toad Are Friends by Arnold Lobel (<3 <3 Frog and Toad...). Great post!
