Frog and Toad, the Morris and Boris series, Where The Wild Things Are, and Sheila Rae the Brave(and most other Kevin Henkes stories). I know there's tons more, but I'm gonna have to think about it. I love children's books, even today.
I need help with the title of a children's book as well. It was about this little boy(pig) that was standing on the side of the road one day, and a garbage truck drove by, and a harmonica fell off. The pig took it home, and cleaned it with his father's schnapps. Then he played it for his family, and they fell asleep. Then he ran away(because his imbecile family couldn't apperciate his lovely harmonica playing), and I remember it said he packed one bag of food, and the other "mostly of food", and the page about running away had beautiful alliteration, something involving swiftly shifting his raft into the stream. After riding the river for sometime, he floats ashore, where these robbers(a dog and a fox, maybe) find him, and plan on eating him. He puts them to sleep with his magic harmonica, and escapes. He runs through the woods, and is attacked by a wolf, that he puts to sleep with his harmonica. When he finally makes it back to his house, he only has the strength to ring the doorbell, after which he passes out. His family takes him to the hospital, where all the patients love the harmonica, especially in the infant ward. When he is well enough to return home, he plays shows for the town using a regular harmonica, and everyone loves him. Does anybody have any idea what this one is called, or even the name of the main character?
