favorite books

I'm looking to expand our book collection and would like to hear some of everyone's favorite books for the 1-3 yr range.

Some of our favorites are:
all the Sandra Boynton books
Goodnight Moon
Dr Seuss's Mr Brown Can Moo and Wocket in my Pocket
Brown Bear Brown Bear

 

We love the Sandra Boynton books and read them over and over. DO you have any Eric Carle books, like the Hungry Catapillar?

I posted about this awhile ago, here it is:

My girls LOVE curious george stories. I have a book that includes all the stories and we read one (or more!) a night. They jump up and down after bath yelling "Monka Monka Monka!"

 

the girls two new favorites are 'Llama, Llama Red Pajama' and 'Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus'
and other favorites are Dr. Suess 'Hop on Pop' and 'Green Eggs and Ham'
also 'The Big Red Barn'

 

Guess How Much I Love You
Runaway Bunny
Richard Scarry books
Golden Books
Eric Carle books
Dr. Seuss
The Giving Tree

 

I just bought the Runaway Bunny and LOVE it. I got the huge version from Costco.

 

Ours LOVE:

Eight Little monkeys jumping on the bed - (I don't know the author and the book is upstairs!)
Eensy Wensy Spider - (same as above)
MILLIE MOO! (Camilla Moody)
Mother Goose (My First Treasury)
Let's Be Kind (PK Hallinan)
Inside Noah's Arc (Charles Reasoner)
A Night Night Prayer (Amy Parker)

These are all fantastic books; however, I have to say that Millie Moo is a must have!

 

I've recently gotten hooked on making Amazon lists. Here's the one with our favorite books.......we go to the library about once a week & I'm trying to add our favorite library books in there, too, so I don't forget them.

 

Knufflebunny! Very cute!

 

We also LOVE the Sandra Boynton books around here. I'm fairly certain we have ALL of them.

Our other favs are the books with the buttons that you push to make noise. There are various kinds out there...we have some Sesame Street, some Diego, some Cars, etc. You can find them anywhere & the boys LOVE to push the buttons, dance, & 'read' along with the story!

They're also into picture books. Like the Baby's First 100 Words or whatever. Anything they can point to an object & have us tell them what it is (or point to it if we ask).

Really, mine are into ANY books...mainly ones that they can 'chew'. They're so naughty....

I really like all of Roger Priddy's books for really young kids. He has board books and cloth books that are great. Some favorites are Fuzzy Bee and Friends (cloth) and Bright Baby First Words (board book).

When in doubt, I don't think you can ever go wrong with any of the Newbery Honor Books or Award Winners for older kids. http://www.ala.org/ala/alsc/awardsscholars...ewberymedal.cfm

And I don't think you can ever go wrong with any of the Caldecott winners for younger kids/picture books. http://www.ala.org/ala/alsc/awardsscholars...decottmedal.cfm
