Favorite Kids' Books
In designing educational games for kids, some of my inspiration comes from children’s books. Here’s four of my all-time favorites:
Doggies by Sandra Boynton |
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle |
Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh |
Make Way For Ducklings by Robert McCloskey |
I’ll never match this level of quality or appeal, but it’s nice to at least know where I’m aiming.
What are your favorites?
