Yes. I do. I mean, I used to.

Sure they are quicker and easier to read.

I remember those pop-up books, talking books, "read and feel" books and etc etc.

Some of these books sound familiar but I've forgotten what they're about.

Colin Thompson's books. I've searched for ages for his picture books- he makes houses out of books, with really intricate designs and little details, like silhouettes of dogs in yellow windows, but i can only find his novels!!! *cries*
And Graeme Base, especially Sign of the Seahorse.

Seriously... I love kid's books. My sister is in Year 2 so I have a great excuse to read them all the time. Sometimes when I don't have much work to do in my study periods I just lay down in the library and look through some kids books. There are many great ones but my favourite has to be Graeme Base - love them. And yeah, I want to be a primary teacher, so I don't have to worry about not seeing these books again. I'll also take the ones I have at home when I leave (we have many, many, many great books!)
