DS likes this book called "I'm the Scariest Thing in this Castle" we got from the library. It's really dumb but he loves it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kids-books-do-you-love#post-2475111 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 17:09:22 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2475111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Pout Pout Fish books, the Little Blue Truck books, and Little Owl's Night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kids-books-do-you-love#post-2474682 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 14:06:58 +0000 gingerbebe 2474682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son adores Dear Zoo (loves to make the animal noises) and Blue Hat, Green Hat. He likes his touch and feel books with textures and the ones with flaps. He likes Goodnight Moon and HUG but I think only because DH has been reading it to him since he was born and its familiar. </p> <p>He also likes books with pictures of real people in them - but he also pretty much only likes TV shows with real people in them too (he vastly prefers The Wiggles to cartoons or Elmo, for instance). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kids-books-do-you-love#post-2474594 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 13:39:56 +0000 nana87 2474594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: we just got "blueberries for sal" and I love it!</p> <p>@lovehoneybee: awww I love the idea of practicing voices for it! my lo repeats "okay thank you anyway" back and it's too cute</p> <p>@petitenoisette: before I had lo I took a video of my oldest niece singing "snuggle puppy" while "reading it" (she was prob 2.5 at the time) and it was so cute, totally made me want kiddos!</p> <p>@Adira: I've totally cried reading it to lo! And now since she's such a big girl (22 motnhs...) I cry when she points out the baby on the last page since she's not a baby anymore :crying: </p> <p>Another one I love is Ida Pearle's "The Moon is Going to Addy's House," it's and really beautiful </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kids-books-do-you-love#post-2474566 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 13:34:52 +0000 Happygal 2474566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: there's something so quaint about the Berenstein Bears!</p> <p>School teacher and lover of children's lit, so my list is super long! The one I love to read to my daughter right now is "I am a Bunny." She prefers interactive books, but that's one I make her sit through because I think Nicholas is so cute and love the changing seasons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kids-books-do-you-love#post-2474563 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 13:33:26 +0000 Adira 2474563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: I was going to say "I love you as much..." too!
