I am doing a book exchange with some other June mamas, and would love ideas! What's your favorite children's book? 
You might also enjoy...
-
I love all of the Usbourne touchy feely books.
-
The Giving Tree
-
We read Olivia, Madeline, Night Night Pookie, Today I'll Be A Princess, and the Llama Llama books the most frequently.
-
Anything by Mo Willems.
-
R loves the It's A Small World by Disney series of board books.
ETA - are you doing this with ladies from here?
-
@swedishfish: My Weddingbee group migrated to Facebook, so its with them. We should do one here!
-
Pete the Cat White Shoes
-
@littlek: same! I love Mo Willems. His books always make me and the LO's laugh!
-
This is one of my new favorite board books: http://www.amazon.com/Hippopposites-Janik-Coat/dp/1419701517/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1392766062&sr=8-1&keywords=hippopposites
Otherwise I love Mo Willems like others have mentioned. And Doreen Cronin. She writes Click, Clack, Moo and others like it. I really like Jon Klassen's two hat books (I Want My Hat Back and This Is Not My Hat-won the Caldecott last year). I think they are silly enough for kids and adults to enjoy. DH loves I Want My Hat Back...we just bought it for our LO this past weekend.
Oliver Jeffers is another author I love with great books. His newer one is called That Moose Belongs To Me and it's hilarious. But I don't think younger kids wouldn't really understand the storyline.
-
We just got Beautiful Opps from a fabulous lady and her family. It is my favorite so far!
-
For babies - peek a who! LO LOVES it and she's only 5months
For kids - the dot, anything mo willems, Classic Robert Munsch, the monster at the end of this book , click clack moo, the gruffalo, Chester...books are a slight obsession of mine!
-
We're a big Dr Seuss fan household, but I also love "I Love You Through and Through" by Bernadette Rossetti-Shustak and "You Are My I Love You" by Maryann Cusimano Love. Both are read nightly.
-
@char54: peek a who is still a favorite here at 13.5 months.
LO and her BFF are both obsessed with Mirabelle and the red ball. I don't get it, but they both love it. They also really like Eric Carle Brown Bear... the one with the sliding windows. That book is a month old and looks like it's been through the war. They. Are. Obsessed.
-
Big Mo Willems fans over here!
-
sandra boynton books, good night good night construction site, little blue truck, anything by lucy cousins, karen katz books!
-
This book is the cat's pajamas. Sooooo awesome! http://www.amazon.com/There-Are-Cats-This-Book/dp/0763639230
-
Brady loves Llama Llama Red Pajama and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.
-
@rahlyrah: oooh yes llama llama red pajama is a fave here too!
-
@lovehoneybee: I Love You Through and Through is our bedtime book. I
it!
-
We love (umm, more like are obsessed with!) "Barnyard Dance" by Sandra Boynton.
I also really, really love (and LO also really loves) "I'd Know You Anywhere, My Love" by Nancy Tillman. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/id-know-you-anywhere-my-love-nancy-tillman/1113938085?ean=9780312553685
It's about animals....but the message is clear that no matter who my LO wants to be (or is), that I will always know her, and always love her. I think this will be a great book to keep on hand throughout the years, and a good opening conversation to gender identity or sexuality questions my LO might have.
"There are things about you quite unlike any other. Things always known by your father or mother. So if you decide to be different one day, no worries… I’d know you anyway."
-
Also Hush Little Polar Bear! Wanted to throw that in
-
My favorite from when I was a little girl was "Mama do you love me" - and my mom gave it to me to read to J! I love it. My second favorite was "What is your language", and I have a copy for J now too!
-
MY favorite is On the Night You Were Born (SOBBBB) but J's favorite is Munch with fun pull tabs that he loves! http://www.amazon.com/Munch-Matthew-Van-Fleet/dp/1442494255/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1392780617&sr=1-2&keywords=munch+munch
-
My favorite book is on the night you were born by Nancy Tillman
@hilsy85: we love little blue truck here too!
-
Are You My Mother!
-
The Rainbow Fish!
-
Goodnight gorilla is super cute! Also all the Mary Katz books are a huge hit in our house.
Although for LO at 18 months I prefer books with photographic /realistic images so he learns the words along with the pictures.
-
My daughter is also obsessed with Brown Bear (with the sliding windows). If anyone says phrases from the book she goes and gets it.
-
I adore all the Nancy Tillman books we have.
-
@jetsa: I can't read that without sobbing!
-
@hilsy85: yes, yes, yes!
-
Chica Chica Boom Boom, The Raindbow Fish, & LO loves The Sandra Boynton, specifically Birthday Monsters & Moo Baa La La La..she laughs every time we read them!
it!
