  10. Finally! Picture Books! Hooray. :) I love picture books and you can't go wrong with Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith - two of the best there is in the genre. My ten year old daughter also devoured the Wimpy Kid series when she was eight. I am also interested in May B a Novel, since I have a special leaning towards novels-in-verse. Do drop me a line once your review is up. Have fun with your new reads!
