Brilliant. Also, Those Shoes is phenomenal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-post-your-favorite-book-need-to-add-to-library/page/2#post-2869916 Thu, 31 Jan 2019 16:20:34 +0000 psw27 2869916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know you have a TON of suggestions here but I also wanted to suggest that Scholastic sells "classroom library" sets and my sister in law sends them to us for Christmas usually - I'm not sure if you have to be a teacher to get them but worth checking into. This year she got a 4 pack of Elephant and Piggie books, a 4 pack of "winter" themed books, and a 4 pack of books about kindness! My 4 year old loves them and they are more along the "early readers" line so they'll grow with him for a few years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-post-your-favorite-book-need-to-add-to-library/page/2#post-2869880 Thu, 31 Jan 2019 13:29:48 +0000 foodiebee 2869880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Late to this thread, but just thought I'd add some that I've come across while researching diverse books for my registry (various reading levels/ages). All came highly recommended!</p> <p>Everywhere Babies<br /> Jabari Jumps<br /> One Family<br /> Ron's Big Mission<br /> Here We Are<br /> The Hello Atlas<br /> I Am Human: A Book of Empathy<br /> Drawn Together<br /> I Am Enough </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-post-your-favorite-book-need-to-add-to-library/page/2#post-2869281 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 15:42:30 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2869281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: It's so good.

I googled books with two moms and I have a bunch more ideas-I'll be placing an amazon order soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-post-your-favorite-book-need-to-add-to-library/page/2#post-2869280 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 15:41:07 +0000 wrkbrk 2869280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Hypatia: This is amazing -TY! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-post-your-favorite-book-need-to-add-to-library/page/2#post-2869279 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 15:40:25 +0000 wrkbrk 2869279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Turtle: Ah ok I dont have the Heather one.

We have the one you mentioned and several Todd Parre books!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-post-your-favorite-book-need-to-add-to-library/page/2#post-2869102 Sun, 27 Jan 2019 16:20:30 +0000 Petitduck 2869102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: me too! And they’re actually my 18 month old’s favourite and have been for a good 7 months. Other books are vetoed. </p> <p>Chicka chicka boom boom is a fun one. We go to the library a lot so that we have new ones to add in to ours.</p> <p>I love myself is one I quite like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-post-your-favorite-book-need-to-add-to-library/page/2#post-2869090 Sun, 27 Jan 2019 13:47:50 +0000 tysonja 2869090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Karma Wilson's Bear book series - excellent stuff and perfect for that age :). rhyming (but not annoyingly so), sweet, warm, and kind). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-post-your-favorite-book-need-to-add-to-library/page/2#post-2869030 Sun, 27 Jan 2019 05:47:01 +0000 Dynamite 2869030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: we just got Julian Is A Mermaid from the library. Love it!</p> <p>Pancho Rabbit and the Coyote - Duncan Tonatiuh</p> <p>I Love My Hair - Angela Johnson</p> <p>So Much - ???</p> <p>Eight Animals Play Ball - Susan Middleton Elya</p> <p>The Bedspread - Sylvia ???</p> <p>Mama Do You Love Me - Barbara M Joose</p> <p>I like Mo Willems, but now that I've been reading Elephant and Piggie for 4 years it drives me nuts that Piggie is always quietly doing Gerald's emotional labor for him. YMMV </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-post-your-favorite-book-need-to-add-to-library/page/2#post-2868324 Tue, 22 Jan 2019 23:56:47 +0000 AngelicOne 2868324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 4 yr olds favorites right now are The Goodnight Train &amp; I Love My Daddy.
