Thanks to all who responded to my request for state picture books. I
was able to find one for every state!
The following list was partially borrowed from the NEA "Read Across
America" website, but those lists did not include enough picture books that
were available in our library system. I tried to make the list diverse, and
also tried to put some quality literature on the list. The (P) stands for
primary, or pre-k, mostly picture books, but some easy non-fiction.
