Jack's top ten reads of 2009

As the end of the year is quickly approaching, I have noticed that everyone from the New York Times to Amazon.com is posting their top 10 books of 2009. It is now time for Jack, an avid reader who consumes at least 10 books a day, to give his 2 cents on his favorite books of 2009. Here is the list, as dictated by Jack:

1. Are You My Mother? (see past posts for more about this one)
2. Jazz Baby (fallen from #1 during 2008)
3. Where's the Dragon? (best when read by dad with his authentic grandfather voice)
3. The Little Engine That Could (I think I can...read this book for the 40th time time)
4. Ping-Ping Panda (beautiful pop-ups...to destroy that is)
5. What's in Paco's Pocket? (well, do you know what he keeps in there?)
6. Harry the Dirty Dog (pronunciation: "doity dog")
7. Skippy Jon Jones: Color Crazy (everyone's favorite trouble making Chihuahua)
8. Knuffle Bunny (all bunnies are now called Knuffie!)
9. Dumpy LaRue (the pig who knew what he wanted to do)
10. Richard Scarry's Cars and Trucks from A to Z (shaped like an apple what's not to love?)

Jack asks that you take a moment now to post your recommendations for his 2010 reading  list--his dad needs all the help he can get for the next trip to the biblioteca (as Skippy Jon Jones would say).
