There are many good written books and many good picture books but what do you think is the best combination of both?

Dr.Suess. Now this guy might not have a whole lot of actual words but it will teach the child to sound out words and they will practice with small words too. Plus the pictures are brain stimulating and entertaining.

Where the Wild Things Are hands down.
The Frog Prince Continued has some great illustrations too.

I'm sure you'll get many answers, so I'll just chip in with mine. When my children were in the age range of around 7 to 10, I read them one chapter per night of a book by Dean Koontz called "Oddkins". They were absolutely fascinated by it. If you are VERY lucky you may find a copy of it in a library...it's been out of print for some time now. For a synopsis of the book visit the below link. Good luck.

I'd certainly vote for "Where the Wild Things Are", amongst many others. But my own favourites remain the "Winnie the Pooh" books because the illustrations were actively suggestive but restrained enough to make you bring them alive with your own imagination. So they remain vivid throughout a long life.

Here are a few good ones:
Anything by Dr. Suess
Are you my mother
Pretzel
Goodnight Moon
The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig
The Stinky Cheese Man
Bearstein Bears
Little Bear
There's one that I used to love as a kid, but I can't remember the name of it. It's about an aligator egg that accidently ends up in a bird's nest and the birds try to teach the baby alligator how to fly.
There are too many to name!

"Where the Wild Things are" by Maurice Sendak, and I can't remember the exact name of this one, but it's something like "Goodnight Alaska" It has great illustrations of Northern lights, and Alaskan animals etc.
