Post books not often discussed in these threads, preferably ones that were important to you (lay off the "Love you Forever" and "Le Petit Prince" etc.)
Pic related is an allegory for God coming into the world ex nihilo and kabbalah
This one is about a kid who starts a civilization in his back yard to escape the torment of normies
Here's my favourite Robert Munsch book that isn't "Love you Forever"
I don't remember much about the actual written content but the illustrations are just wild and the exploration of the mythology of Inuit and other circumpolar peoples is really cool

Thank you so much I've been looking for this author but hadn't anything to go on except that he did an adaption of Three Little Pigs.

I didn't like it when I was a kid, but I'll sure as hell make my children watch it.

Fuck I remember that shit.
The little mice got the scraps of Jew cloth, right?
Loved this as a kid, but its really fucked up. The kid is ignored by his parents, goes outside and gets eaten by a monster. The monster comes inside and starts being bad, but carries on getting ignored in the same way. Ends on a great picture of the monster tucked up in bed with a glass of milk looking slightly confused.

I was looking at Greek manuscripts from the 1300's and I will be damned if they don't look like they've been drawn by Peter Spiers.
That man drew the greatest Christmas book of all time too.
Mr. Prosset learns to not be such a prig
I was introduced to this book when my elementary school's librarian read it to my class when I was in kindergarten. Even when I was a pre-teen and no-longer reading any other picture books, I would keep taking this book out. The ending made me cry every time. I need to find it again and reread it. It's been a long time.

Anything by Paul Jennings and Morris Gleitzman, especially the stuff they wrote together, is god tier. I preferred Jennings as a kid though, his stories always presented their morals in a funnier and more whimsical way than Gleitzman. He also gave the world Round the Twist.
