Favorite kids books?

Itsy bitsy spider (I sing it. There are many, many verses)
You are my wish come true
Me and my mom
Me and my dad
If I could keep you little
Guess how much I love you
On the night you were born
How do I love you

DD is obsessed with this book called "Princess Baby" by Karen Katz. I can't even tell you how many times I've read it, but even she has memorized the entire thing.

We also like all of the Eric Karl books and recently started reading a book called "King Bidgood's in the Bathtub" which has really cool illustrations.

I used to teach preschool and every day I would let a different child choose a book to read in circle time, and they all chose "My Lucky Day" every day for three months!!

Re: Favorite kids books?

We ask for books as presents instead of toys.
We LOVE all the books we have gotten.
I have lots of the ones mentioned... but other young favorites include:

- "Pat the Bunny" (this broke from too much use)
- "Little blue truck"
- "That's when I'm happy": Book has mama and papa bear & was a bargain at Barnes & Nobles. I buy it for everyone.

Now that DS has hit 4, he really loves longer books with elaborate stories. He got a kick out of the crayon book "Day the crayons quit" and we got a dot book that tells you what to do with the book & it makes dots move (he likes to "read" it to his little sister). ETA: That was the "Press here" book someone else recced! They loved it!

He also loves fables like:

Tikitikitembo
Stone soup
Caps for sale
Little red riding hood
Ferdinand the Bull
The mitten
Noah's ark

Wow, thanks everyone. I want to get all of them right now, but we'll have to build little by little.

DD is just about 17 months, but she LOOOOVES books. I'm hoping she maintains this excitement as she gets older. Chat Icon
