Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf by Lois Ehlert
I'm now having to search the thread to make sure I don't have a duplicate.
"F" is next, and Ferdinand has already been done!

And it's "The Story of Ferdinand" anyway so had been used for "S" not "F"
This is our FIRST "F"! (I just checked  .) Way to go, Jenn! New letter!

We've had 111 titles listed so far, 109 different ones. There are so many I haven't heard of, that my library request list is so long, too! I started writing them down, but then decided I needed to alphabetize.
I'll update it if we add some more, but here's the Spreadsheet so far:
2010-10-01_115907_Picture_Book_Game.xls (Just reloaded, as I messed up some "E" books)
We only had two repeats. Not bad, eh?
I'm loving all the little tidbits about each book...I'd say this thread is as close as you can get to talk about books over coffee.

A - 5
B - 1
C - 2
D -5
E - 8
F - 1
G - 2
H - 2
I - 2
J
K - 5
L - 8
M - 4
N - 7
O - 5
P - 4
Q
R - 10
S - 12
T - 13
U - 5
V
W - 2
X - 1
Y - 4
Z
I thought of a "Y" book with an ending of little used letter - "G"
You're a Grand Old Flag
It's the lyrics to the song with illustrations from Norman Rockwell. Lovely!

good title, Christine! I appreciate your help with H...but I was still sleeping on the West Coast 
we'll find another one!
Lindsay....thanks for the visuals about groundhogs. So sorry about your garden. 
our first F.wow.
Funny, I went to bed thinking: I should probably stop pestering everybody and just let the game die out since I keep coming back and posting.....maybe everyone is getting tired of this...or of me , but.....I wake up this am with a bunch of new posts
so, if anyone gets really tired of my not quitting....just tell me...I will not be offended
Y..gotta go find a Y......
well, I give. There is no Y book on my shelves. I will save looking up a title if no one else can find a Y.

THE GLORIOUS FLIGHT: ACROSS THE CHANNEL WITH LOUIS BLERIOT by Alice and Martin Provensen
Makes it a T...twice
it IS talking picture books over a cup of tea!!! I have my tea right here every morning when I post!

, Jenny!
First I panicked over the X.....oh, duh.....NOT part of the title!
Then, my next D title had a Y.....can't use that...Y is too much trouble
So, here is another of MY childhoos favorites:
DOWN, DOWN THE MOUNTAIN by Ellis Credle
this is getting a bit trickier now, watching those endings .....and that will make us sillier
BUT...I am guessing women who love picture books must be a bit silly in the first place, no?
