As I tried to come up with a cute story I thought...What is your child's favorite books?  What are yours?  My son loves Brown Bear, the No David! books and Moo, Baa, La la la.  For older children my favorite are Have you filled a bucket today? Dot, Ish and Cookies - Little Bite size life lessons

What are your favorite?

what a great topic!  Karma point to you, chispa.

Yep, the ones you mentioned (Brown Bear - and everything else by Eric Carle, the No David! books by David Shannon, and anything by Sandra Boynton) are definite favorites in our family.  I'll have to check out the others you wrote about - as those are yet to be discovered in our house.   

We have also loved "What makes a Rainbow?" by Betty Ann Schwartz, "I love the Alphabet" by Dar Hosta, and "Ruby in her Own Time" (our daughter loves this one still, and my hubby and I really found it helpful to help us resist comparing her to all of her friends when she was younger).  Although no one has ever heard of it, my daughter's favorite book right now is "Gakky Two Feet" by Mickey Dolens.  She also goes around quoting her favorite parts from the "Skippy John Jones" books.  Ah, so many good books out there, so little time... happy reading all!

Thanks for your suggestion Lawrencelb!  I will check them out especially  "Ruby in Her Own Time."  It sounds like one that could benefit my family.

We love Skippy Jon Jones!  Yeah, I even get that one stuck in my head.  Another one that is easy to get stuck in your head is Frog in the Kitchen Sink.  My son recites The Very Hungry Caterpillar.  One that I love to read right now as school starts is The Kissing Hand - very cute.

My older kids still love this one, it entertains adults too.

There's a hair in my dirt, by Gary Larson. (author of The far side).  About a worm who finds a hair in the dirt he's eating for dinner.  It's from a princess that died saving a creature, and decomposed... full of morals about environment, great pictures, very funny.

Dr Suess (Green eggs and ham, Fox in Sox etc) and Berenstain Bears books are great.  Very easy to memorise.

I loved the Berenstein Bears books when I was little. In fact, I need to get them from my mom.

I have all the Eric Carle books.
I have all the Sam McBratney books (Guess How Much I Love You series).
I love the illustrations for the Russell The Sheep books (Rob Scotton).
Mercer Mayer books.
Pat the Bunny, Tails (Matthew Van Fleet), and any other touchy feely books like them. These are great for babies. They love touching the different textures.
I also have some Frank Asch books that I liked from my childhood.


I have tons of books for Gabriel! I love getting ones with cute illustrations, so any time I see some, I buy them!

The story I loved as a child was Mr. Pines Purple House.  It's out of print now and they did a reprint, but the printing was not as good.  It all about being differnt and how it's okay to be an individual.

Have to agree with Mr. Pines Purple House.  We used to argue about who got to read it!  I have a new copy and its just not the same!  My son loves the golden book Charlie.  My daughter loves Goodnight Moon.
