I read her Fox in Socks...what a mouthful!
-
Snuggle puppy by Sandra Boynton. He never sits still while I read though and is more interested in trying to eat the book. I'll be glad when he starts to enjoy it.
-
WJ's new favorite bedtime book is "I Want My Hat Back". Such a cute, funny book and he actually gets the humor. He's growing up so fast.
-
The Gruffalo. The pictures kept him interested for all of a minute, lol. Not so much interested in books yet but I keep reading to him anyway.

I'm 39 weeks pregnant, so I've been reading baby "Oh, Baby, the Places You'll Go," which is the Dr. Seuss book "re-written" for you to read in-utero. It was a gift from my sister-in-law, and I just love it. I tear up every time I read it.
-
@mrsaudi: Love that book!
-
I read "Are You My Mother?" to her yesterday.
@littlebug: My husband surprised me with that after my first trimester and I cried every time I read it, especially at the end where it says, "I can't wait to meet you."
-
@mrs. wagon: DH and I LOVE that book! It was gifted to us at our shower and DH read it to my stomach every night for like 2 months, and reads it to DS almost every night! He doesn't understand it yet, of course, but he seems to enjoy DH's voices.
-
@BelugaBean: Yup...most of the time, I can barely get that line out! Ha ha.
-
The going to bed book. Total fail since she has no interst in books yet and she didn't go to bed for me!
-
The Very Hungry Caterpillar... sort of. Our own little very hungry caterpillar tried to eat the book and then crawled away about halfway through the story. This is usually how reading goes with her these days.
-
Let's Dance, Little Pookie!
-
@FutureMrsMcK: hehe aww!! Our future nanny introduced it to us so Wagon Jr. got it for Christmas. I wanna get the other books now!
-
A few pages of the velveteen rabbit!
-
@autumnlove: I did too! What are the chances? I hate that book!
-
Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs by Mo Willems
-
I can't get through a book w/ DD. She just wants to open, close and turn the pages. But I tried to read her "Ears, Nose and Toes", a lift the flap book.
-
@littlebug: I read LO that book all the time while I was pregnant!
-
@Mrs. Jacks: I have the board version but it was still a struggle!
-
There's a Wocket in my Pocket. I was fun to read and LO just stared at all the pages.
-
My Daddy and I. She loves reading books!
-
I think it was A to Z by Sandra Boynton.
-
"Mrs. Wow does not want a cow" - it came in our Dr. Suess set, but I don't think it's actually by Dr. Suess?
-
@autumnlove: @Mrs. Jacks: I love Dr. Seuss, so I have to step in here to defend him!
"Fox in Socks" is meant for kids to read to themselves when they're old enough. It's okay for adults to read it too, of course, but if you don't like it, find another Seuss book that has a story--Yertle the Turtle, The Sneetches, Thidwick, Horton, The Bippolo Seed, Mulberry Street, etc.--those are written so that parents can read them aloud. They're often considered to be kindergarten or above level, but my 2 yo LO has enjoyed them for a while, and they're interesting enough that I don't get sick of them. "Fox", "Wocket", and even "The Cat in the Hat" are for early readers (i.e., not anyone commenting on this blog!).
That said, I loved "Wocket", and it's a quick read, so I read it to my LO all the time when he was not really into sitting for a long time to read books, around the 9-12 mo. mark. The last book I read LO was "An Orange for Frankie" by Patricia Polacco. I like her illustrations, but I don't care for some of the dialect she uses, so I just change it while I'm reading.
