I love this list! I would also suggest going through used book shops. My kids' favorite books are ones that I picked up secondhand: Miyoko Matsutani's The Witch's Magic Cloth and Alexander and the Magic Mouse by Martha Sanders.
None specifically, but antique shops are where you will find out-of-print gems. Last week, I picked up a hard copy with dust jacket of Charles Dickens' The Life of Our Lord published in 1936 for just $4. Fun fact: nowhere is the illustrator's name listed.

Thank you, Maryann! I agree. Many of the best books are out of print. Any shop reccs?

Nice! Do the Hablot Knight Browne illustrations online look familiar?
I was not familiar with the name, but that definitely looks like a Dickens illustrator.
