Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Picture book · ages 4–8 · 640L · 1938
Gág's 1938 adaptation has genuinely lovely language and illustrations—richer and more unsettling than the Disney film, with a real fairy-tale darkness that respects kids' ability to handle real stakes.
The ABC Bunny
Picture book · ages 3–7 · 300L · 1999
A 1923 original that earned its Newbery Honor—the ABC sequence feels natural to the chase narrative, not forced, and the pen-and-ink illustrations have genuine charm even on modern screens.
Nothing at All
Picture book · ages 3–7 · 1941
Gág's anarchic 1941 picture book is pure imaginative chaos—a kid with nothing makes increasingly ridiculous things happen, no moral, no lesson, just delightful absurdist momentum.
Millions of cats
Picture book · ages 4–8 · 580L · 1982
A 1928 Newbery winner that still works—rhythmic, absurd repetition makes millions of cats feel real to kids, and the solution is earned and satisfying.
