100 Essential Picture Books
for Primary Schools

Selected by Joan Gibbons, Deputy Librarian: Education Library, University of Waikato. August 2000.

 In 1999 I was faced with the pleasant task of selecting a basic picture book 
collection for the teaching needs of students at Tauranga University College.  
I decided to make a list of one hundred pictures books that are essential to any 
primary school collection, and to use these as the basis for a collection in the 
new library.  

 Every good primary school library should have most of these books, and perhaps 
every good home where there are children should have most of them too.  Almost 
all of the books are available in paperback editions, although libraries should 
consider buying them in hardback, because they are books whose quality will outlast 
wear and tear.  

I created certain criteria for this list:
* Only one book by each author is named, although many of these authors have 
written other equally good books that you might prefer to use to replace or 
supplement those on the list.  
* The books have lasting value.  
* Books by New Zealand authors are well represented; more so than you would find 
on an international list of one hundred best books, because I think New Zealand 
children should be introduced to books by New Zealand authors.  I have *starred 
the New Zealand authors so that they are easily identified, and so that people 
whose national allegiance is different might know where to substitute their own 
favourites. 
* The books could be used at a variety of levels throughout primary and intermediate 
education, from year 0 to year 8 (5-13 years of age), and some of these books are 
more suitable for use with older children.  Because it is a list for using in 
primary schools, it needs an early childhood supplement to adequately cover the 
needs of the youngest children.
* Books that may be useful in more than one curriculum area have priority over 
books that serve only one purpose.  (They are better value for money in school 
libraries.)
* They should be in print, or come back into print from time to time.  The fact 
that many of the books have been medal winners contributes to their continued 
availability, although this was not in itself a criterion.  International on-line 
bookselling has also contributed to the availability of overseas titles.
* They should together be a good, representative collection of picture books.

All of these books are useful in the English curriculum area.  Many of them are 
particularly useful when working on the visual literacy component of the new 
curriculum.  A number of the books are in rhyme, which is helpful in developing 
phonemic awareness, as well as making the book easier for an adult to read aloud 
and easier for a child with developing reading skills to tackle by themselves.  
All provide language models of various kinds (i.e. they are well written). 

Several librarians from the University of Waikato made suggestions of other books 
to be included in such a list, but nearly all suggestions were for other books 
by authors already included on the list.  I have stuck by my favourites.  The 
list was distributed early this year to students doing on-line courses, and I 
have received suggestions from some of them.  A second list is underway, for 
those who would like 200 picture books instead of 100.

I am often asked which is the best.  It has to be Where the Wild Things Are, 
by Maurice Sendak, a book which shaped the way picture books in the second half 
of the twentieth century were to be.  My own children's favourite is not even on 
the list, because another book by the same author took its place.  It's Calico 
the Wonder Horse, or, The Saga of Stewy Stinker by Virginia Lee Burton, published 
by Faber in 1942.  The grandparent of them all is The Tale of Peter Rabbit by 
Beatrix Potter (Warne, 1902).  Good reading!
