There were a lot more books with B authors than A's! I read all the Cliffords, all the Arthurs, all the Berenstain Bears, and they were all good. Here are some I didn't know about that I loved.
Lorna Balian wrote 5 books that we have in the library and I loved them all. Strange and sweet stories.
Actually this is one of the first books I purchased for the library, and then it won some awards last year! It's about a little girl who makes things out of yarn. I still love it.
This one I immediately checked out to Anna as soon as I finished it. Just a really lovely little story.
We have bunches of Eve Bunting books and they are all tear jerkers! I loved this Christmasy one the most, but I liked them all.
I actually discarded a couple of books from the B's because they depicted such meanness between siblings, without ever redeeming anything. This one was just the opposite. Brothers being brothers, but also being kind.
I love everything by Virginia Lee Burton. This is the only one we have. I may have to remedy that.

I like what you said about redeeming factors. That's what I think is sadly lacking in a lot of today's books.
Only one Burton book? That's surprising!
This is a very fun series of posts, by the way. :)
