My daughter's birthday is next Tuesday and she has preschool that day. Her school doesn't allow parents to bring in food for the class, but they encourage parents to bring in a book to read aloud to the class on their child's birthday. You can then donate the book to the class library if you wish. I'm excited to be there on her birthday but not sure what book to buy.
Thoughts??

Giraffes Can't Dance, Little Blue Truck, or Click, Clack, Moo. My mom's a preschool teacher and they are favorites year after year.

Mo Wilems is great - "waiting is not easy" "should I share my ice cream?" "I'm a trumpet" are great if you like to be expressive in your reading.

Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons. I suggest watching the Youtube video so you can get the song part of it. Have the kids sing along. I love this book and so does our LO.
My buttons...my buttons... go ahead and youtube it

Oh the Little Blue Truck books... We LOVE Little Blue Truck goes to the City. It's another favorite and has a good little moral too.

Oooh! I'm so happy to have all of these suggestions - thanks ladies!
@twodoghouse: @MamaG: "Giraffes can't dance" and "Little blue truck" are two of my absolute favorites - and really good read aloud. Molly loves to say "Oh Gerald, you're so weird!"

@birdofafeather: This is what I was going to say - we got it for my Goddaughter for Christmas last year and when her mom took it into the class to read they demanded she read it a second time.

@lawbee11: Oh another great selection. Love this book too. "and then she plants a kiss upon his face and swims away, Mr Fish is most astounded, Mr Fish is just aghast..."
Can y'all tell we've been on a different rotation of books? A lot of my favorites have fallen to the bottom of the pile.

Iggy Peck, Architect (http://www.amazon.com/Iggy-Peck-Architect-Andrea-Beaty/dp/081091106X). I used to teach kindergarten and *loved* when parents would come in and do read-alouds. Your daughter will feel so special!

@erinbaderin: every hippo we see (in books, pictures, tv, stuffed animals) is "boo boo butt!"

A few unmentioned suggestions: Dragons Love Tacos would be a good one. We also like the Knufflebunny books and Hug Machine.

i think the book with no pictures is better suited for older kids.
for 3 year olds i would say any elephant and piggie book, any pigeon book, the gruffalo, or pete the cat!
