Can we talk about your favorite children's books?

Knuffle Bunny by Mo Willems
Actually all of his books are cute!

I second Knuffle Bunny. Also there is an alphabet series by Audrey Wood, starting with Alphabet Mystery, that the kiddos like. Martha Speaks was another one my pre-Kers liked and I know there is at least one other book featuring Martha.

Favorites in our house (at just over 2 years) are Clifford, Corduroy, one of those Big Blue Books (has A Fly Went By, Put Me in the Zoo, and 4 others), Elephant and Piggy books by Mo Willems, Dr. Seuss, anything with Winne the Pooh (which I hate), Harold and the Purple Crayon, and any Madeline books.

We miss the kid who would happily choose Sandra Boynton books at bedtime because she didn't yet understand that picking longer books at bedtime means you get to stay up later.

Oh, and the "How Do Dinosaurs . . .?" series is cute too, by Jane Yolen.

This book made my son and I cry.

My son loved the "Brown Bear, Brown Bear", "Polar Bear, Polar Bear" and "Goodnight Moon".

Yes, one of S's favorites is the Llama series.
He also loves Pinkalicious, The Brown Bear series (he's kinda grown out of that, he's 3), Corduroy, ChickaChicka BoomBoom, Grumpy Gloria.

I check a lot of books out of the library for S to see what he likes. I've bought so many that he didn't take to, and those fuckers are expensive.

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, anything Dr. Suess, Goodnight Moon, Eric Carle books (Hungry, Hungry Caterpillar, etc). We also like a lot of the books by Giles Andreae (Dinosaurs Galore, Commotion in the Ocean, etc).

At 4, she loves Arthur, Bernstein Bears, and Franklin the Turtle. We are also now working our way through the Little House on the Prairie and American Girl series, because I got bored with children's book every night.

The last time I read this book to DD, she informed me that she thought it was pretty creepy that the Mom snuck into her grown son's house. I seriously about died laughing, because I had always thought it was a little bizarre too. ;D

I always remembered this book as being sweet and cute, but I opened it recently and read it. My MIL bought it for us. Holy crap is it full of creep. Not only would I never pick up a sleeping kid to rock, once they are asleep, you don't mess with that, but I held up the page of the mom creeping into the son's house, showed it to my husband and told him for that alone we would never live in the same town as his mom.

Mercer Mayer books (they are fairly cheap, and sam's club often has them in a big book of seven or eight stories).

at that age, also a ton of dr. suess.

goodnight gorilla

little quack series

maurice sendak books (our favorites are where the wild things are and in the night kitchen)

I second many of these (LLama, Corduroy, How does a Dinosaur..?, If You Give a Moose a Muffin etc) and I am taking notes.

We were just given "Danny and the Dinosaur" by Syd Hoff. First published in 1958, it's a sweet story about a boy and his dinosaur playmate for a day.

DS chooses 3 books, 2 regular books and 1 "good night" book. He is obsessed with "The Goodnight Train" by June Sobel.
He also used to love this board book called "Daddy Kisses" , but I just read it as "Mommy Kisses". You follow the story and give good night kisses just like the animals in the story do (the frog mommy kisses her froglet on the eyes, etc.)

My kids love all the Harry McClary books and the Franklin the Turtle books.

There's A Monster At The End Of This Book is a favorite, but now she giggles and flips all the pages really fast (the gist being that Grover is flipping out because there's a monster at the end, so he's all DON'T TURN THE PAAAGE, until you get to the end, he realizes that he's a monster, and then he's all, lol you noob, I told you there wasn't anything to be afraid of). I definitely recommend getting this in board book form, if you do.

She also loves I Am A Bunny. She didn't really get into Very Hungry Caterpillar, but loves Brown Bear Brown Bear (animals are her jam... she shrieks with glee when she sees dogs). She likes Veronica, 900 Buckets Of Paint and Ferdinand. We have a few Pat The Bunny style books she enjoys too.

Any book by Sandra Boynton, Mo Williams, or Eric Carle (papa will you get the moon for me is awesome).

When she gets older, the Ivy & Bean series is really good (my daughter has read the first three in about a month).
