LO is 5.5 months and she loves story time. She fully pays attention, looks at every page and smiles! Lately I've been reading the same 3 books over and over (I love you through and through, Where is baby's belly button, Peek-a-who). I don't know about her but I am tired of these books! I really need to expand her library. Any recommendations?
-
They're ridiculously silly but I love the pigeon/duckling books by Mo Willems. They're so much fun to read. My favorite is The Duckling Gets a Cookie!?
ETA - they're really for children around two years old but your LO could "grow into" them
-
Chicka chicka Boom boom, snuggle puppy, Moo baa la la la, kitten tails. raffi has a lot of song books that are fun for babies & grown ups
-
@mrs. bird: Raffi has song books? I had no idea! Going to check those out now....
-
@swedishfish: I'm obsessed with mo willems! I am secretly hoping for an excuse to buy the talking pigeon doll as a gift so I can hear its voice

Usborne touch & feel books are fun, we love llama llama books (llama llama mad at mama), dr. seuss... those are some of our favorites!
-
@Mrs. Chen: I love you through and through is DS's very favorite book - even at 12 months and we have at least 50 books.
He also really loves:
My brave year of firsts - Jamie lee curtis
Oh the thinks you can think and I can read with my eyes shut - dr Seuss.
Care Bears - what makes you happy -
We love everything by Oliver Jeffers.

She is just now getting into bigger story books and will actually sit and listen to the words. We have some Disney books and some Golden books that she likes. Most I have purchsed used. You could also look at the library.
-
I just bought Love You So Much (it's really cute), Mamma Mamma books are a favorites, and she squeals when we read/sing Chica Chica Boom Boom (My favorite book growing up)
-
Thanks ladies! I'm going to look into some of these!
@swedishfish: We got gifted "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" and "Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late". They ARE fun to read and so silly! LO doesn't quite get the humor in them yet but I bet she will love them when she gets older!
@mrs. bird: We got gifted that pigeon doll along with the books. It's still in it's packaging and I had no idea it talks when squeezed! Lol! How cool!
@mrsjets: I love "I Love You Through and Through". I can't wait when she's older and actually understand the words. That's probably the book I read to her most often. I will check out your other suggestions!
@Lulu Mom: I'm actually not familiar with Chica Chica Boom Boom but the name sounds really FUN!
-
@Mrs. Chen: I started reading LO that same book (Don't Let the Pigeon Drive The Bus) when she was around 6 months. It was at the 12 month mark that she will actually sit there watching me read the whole entire book! It's one of the few longer books that will captivate her interest.
The Going To Bed Book is also a favourite and quite easy to memorize. There's also "All the Things I Love About You" which is a sweet read.
-
We like Sandra Boynton books, Baby Einstein books, Dr. Seuss, "If you give a..." books, Very Hungry Caterpillar (and his other books) and then we check out a bunch of random ones at the library.
-
LO likes Tails by Matthew Van Fleet and the Very Hungry Caterpillar, Mixed-Up Chameleon, Snowy Day, and Little Blue and Little Yellow board books.
ETA and I second Oliver Jeffers.
