Grammy reads it to her a lot.</p> <p>We love the bright baby books (they ALWAYS have them at TJ Maxx). She has the colors one and although she ripped a page out of it and tore it in half (hulk baby), so still reads it all the time. It taught her a few words, but we haven't gotten into the actual colors part of it. She also LOVES "Hippos Go Berserk" and her favorite bedtime book is "Love is a Handful of Honey"...That one was a random gift from Grandma. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-must-have-board-books#post-1128840 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 12:38:01 +0000 littlecasita1122 1128840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trying to think of others that haven't been mentioned yet...</p> <p>Little Blue Truck<br /> Chicka Chicka Boom Boom<br /> The Very Busy Spider<br /> Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? (we have all the variations now)<br /> Corduroy<br /> Dear Zoo<br /> Who's at Home? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-must-have-board-books#post-1128743 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 12:14:33 +0000 Elderberrygin 1128743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite aside from the Boynton books is "The Very Cranky Bear." LO loves it when we make cranky bear roaring noises while we read it to her and the illustrations are entertaining. Part of my criteria for board books is that they don't drive me crazy after the billionth reading and this one still amuses me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-must-have-board-books#post-1128596 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 11:29:25 +0000 Bao 1128596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: the only one we don't have of those is the turkey one ;)<br /> @Mrs. Bee: we have Tails but would love the other ones!<br /> @autumnlove: love Sandra Boynton! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-must-have-board-books#post-1128281 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 10:14:35 +0000 Mrsbells 1128281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Our current favorites are</p> <p>Moo Baa la la la<br /> The very hungry caterpillar<br /> where is baby's belly button<br /> 10 fat turkeys<br /> Mr brown can moo<br /> Dr seuss' abc </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-must-have-board-books#post-1128272 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 10:12:11 +0000 mrskc 1128272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Furry friends &amp; First 100 words are favorites in our house.

I would love some suggestions! </p>
