Sandra Boynton wrote over 4,000 reading cards for recycled paper greetings company. They are said to have sold nearly 500 million copies between 1973 and 2003. She fueled a trend in what were then called alternative greeting cards. The most popular one is just like a happy birthday greeting card that says Hippo Birdie.

To celebrate this year's Children's Book Week, we decided to discuss the work of children's author and illustrator Sandra Boynton, whose board books we both have and which are well known for their fun illustrations and whimsical poetry.

1. Doggies
2. Dinosaur Dance!
3. Barnyard Dance!
4. Pajama Time!
5. Blue Hat, Green Hat
6. Moo, Baa, La La La!
