Thank for (another) great list...and a great theme. Andrew Henry’s Meadow, by Doris Burn, The Green Ship, by Quinten Blake, and Roxaboxen, by Alice Mcclerran, always get me wanting to play outside. So does Mandy, by Julie Andrews Edwards.

In reply to Stephanie. Ha ha ha! I can't keep track of anything anymore!! I couldn't find it on a list - perhaps my search function needs an overhaul. :)

You have definitely recommended Mr. & Mrs. Bunny, Detectives Extraordinaire by Polly Horvath before because we finally read it this past February, per your book list rec! We read it on audio book, A MUST! Read by the author with all the voices, totally delightful and laugh out loud funny! We quote the marmot regularly when eating garlic bread (read it, you'll find out why). Such a great family read-aloud and perfect for a long car ride.
Add Weslandia by Paul Fleischman to the picture book list, my boys and girl both like this book and it always inspiries the best outdoor play.
