Default Children's fabrics

I am looking for fabrics to match children's storybooks I know Andover. Has Eric Carl books and I have seen Dr. Suess fabrics. Just wondering if you know of any others? Friend is having a baby shower in the place of cards with presents she is asking for children's books Which I thought was a great idea. I would like to make a quilt to match a story book. So please share any fabrics or patterns that you know I would greatly appreciate it thanks

AA Milne wrote Winnie the Pooh - there are fabrics out there that match his drawings and not Disney. One of my favorite stories.

There's a pattern and fabric for Brown Bear Brown Bear What Did You See? I just made it for daughter 's preschool. You will have to google for the pattern - it was free. I got the fabrics on line also.

There is also Berenstein Bears fabric out.

I make small "I Spy" quilts and get story books from the Dollar store; and give them to kids as gifts or give to a benefit fundraiser. I put a few blocks of fabric in that match with the story.
