I am very envious of your personal library. I have quite a good collection of books for older children, but never bought that many picture books for my older two. I tended to rely quite heavily on the library. Ours has quite a good collection, but of course it rarely overlaps with all those lovely lists of American published books :(. That does mean I get to make some good discoveries of my own, but I also miss out on a lot. I am trying to buy picture books judiciously for Cherub, aiming to find things I think we will use for a few years. If I had other little ones coming up behind I would buy more.
Thanks for sharing your wish lists. I have two on Amazon …
(1) Picture Books

(2) Religion (also picture books, but with religious themes)

I set them up quite recently, so they are not all that long.
