What are your favorite children's books to read to your little ones?

Question

I'm looking for some "new" books to read to my 3 month old, I have the popular "Goodnight Moon", "the Very Hungry Caterpillar" etc....the classics, but I was looking for some hidden treasures that maybe were not so popular, any suggestions?

Answer 1

"Big Red Barn" is wonderful (same author as "Goodnight Moon") as are "Hug" and "Goodnight Gorilla". The last 2 are mostly pictures with very few words and were very popular with all 3 of my girls.

Answer 2

We have 2 books from when I was a child.  My son loved them, these were the 2 books he always went to first, when it was story time!  I still have them & my 2 year old nephew loves them as well.  The 2 books popular then & still are well loved... is a book of classic nursery rhymes/lullabies & the other is the classic stories/fables.  Back in the 70's we had a door to door salesman & my mother bought the encyclopedias he was selling.  Along with the set, came 2 wonderful childrens books!  They were classics then... they are classics now!

Comments

My son was given this book as a b-day present & to this day... it makes me cry!  It's called, "Love You Forever", by Robert Munsch.

Answer 3

"Big Dog, Little Dog" is my husband's favorite while I still love "Ferdinand the Bull".  They might be a little older but they tell a great story and have great pictures.  Also, I'm a sucker for anything from Robert Munsch.
