Tiffany commented on Mar 16 11 at 9:22 amMy 11-month old loves the Sandra Boynton books because we make the sounds of the animals and make up melodies to the songs (like Snuggle Puppy!). But I think his favorite book is “Peek-A-Who” because he likes to see himself in the mirror at the end!
Joe commented on Mar 16 11 at 9:24 amWe love reading Goodnight moon and Dr. Seuss’s!
Leah commented on Mar 16 11 at 9:24 amMy 11 month old loves turning the cardboard pages (but cannot rip them!) so we read and reread the Peak a Boo series.
Ellen commented on Mar 16 11 at 9:31 amI love to read “I love you forever”. We got this book from a birthday party at his daycare and the first time I read the book to him I cry, of course not letting my son know. But even now at the age of 5, sometimes when he his feeling I little insecure I say a quote from the book, “I like you always, I love for forever, as long as I’m living my baby you will be”, and it works. I thing it reminds him of all the night bedtime stores and brings him back to that comfortable safe place. This why this is my favorite book too read.
Jody commented on Mar 16 11 at 9:47 amwe have so many favorites but Make Way for Ducklings is always a fun one
Lori commented on Mar 16 11 at 9:48 amLittle Fur Family by Margaret Wise Brown. It is such a warm, cozy story for bedtime.
Cheryl P. commented on Mar 16 11 at 9:54 amMy five year old son Connor and I are reading the Magic Tree House Series together – in order, of course! :) He loves to hear what new adventure Jack and Annie are on, and I love that he enjoys both the fictional story and the non fiction companion book that goes along with many of them. Our trips to the bookstore to buy them are a great time for us to talk about our day and have some quality time together.
Anne commented on Mar 16 11 at 10:12 amI loved reading Hubert’s Hair-Raising Adventures by Bill Peet to my kids.

Janet Muter commented on Mar 17 11 at 12:42 amMy girls have loved books since they were tiny.They are now 6, and 2 and their favorite is “Pout pout fish!”it’s gotten so they both know all the catchy words,yet that’s still their go to book and first choice.
Kristie commented on Mar 17 11 at 11:06 pmMy two-year-old preschool class loves Caps for Sale by Esphyr Slobodkina. We acted it out today with real caps and they had a ball.
Jessica commented on Mar 17 11 at 11:28 pmIt’s really hard to choose, but I’d have to say “Go Dog Go.” It was one of my favorites when I was a child, so I’m especially pleased that my daughter loves it just as much. In fact, my whole family loves it so much that my brothers have even recorded their children reading it, which my daughter loves to hear!
