Books for the littles!

[tjanca22]

Everett's favorite seems to be this googly eyed fish book. He always reaches for the eyes and then tries to eat them.

For Christmas I'm looking for something that has sound involved, not sure what tho.

Books are one of my favorites gifts to give and get

Right now Lo seems to enjoy
- freight train
- goodnight moon
- all the sonya burton books
- time for bed
- the large first 100 word book
- any book by todd parr

Most all of these my 2.5 yr old likes too so you definitely get milage out of them

LO loves
-Little Pea (story of a baby pea who has to eat candy for dinner and hates it)
-Not the a hippopotamus (I think DD just likes to hear me say hippopotamus)
-Llama llama red pajama (baby llama going to sleep but needs his mama!)
-The Going to Bed book (animals getting ready for bedtime)

I got LO a soft crinkly book for Christmas, but it is probably better to think ahead to around 1 when the book obsession really begins. DD's favorites were:

Anything Sandra Boynton (Snuggle Puppy, Moo Ba Lalala, Barnyard Dance, etc.)
Eric Carle's The Very Busy Spider, Brown Bear Brown Bear What do you see?, From Head to Toe, etc.
I Love You Through and Through
Dear Zoo
Pat the Bunny
etc. etc.

On the May board a few of them mentioned this book "A is for Activist". There is also one called "Counting on Community". I'm not sure if that is the sort of thing I would personally read to a baby, but I guess he/she could grow into it.

Baby Lit also has board books that are a take on classics like Alice and Wonderland, Pride and Prejudice, Romeo and Juliet. Some people love these but my personal take on them is that they have really pretty pictures but the stories aren't necessarily so great.

I have so many to add later!

LO loves books. No actual favourites yet. I'm making him a fabric book of The Night Before Christmas and one of the nativity story. I'd love more of the "That's not my..." series just because I think they are cute and I think I will end up buying On the Night You Were Born. I've already picked up a few for his stocking. Oh I also love the Duck and Goose books.

Ok! We love Little Zoo, Little Blue Truck (both), Giraffes Can't Dance, all Eric Carle books, Llama Llama Nighty Night and the morning one, Biscuit holiday books (they're touch and feel), The Eensy Weensy Spider, Karen Katz's books (Where is Baby's Bellybutton), and the smaller baby touch and feel books. She's really into textures right now, so she likes to feel those! We also have a book Five Little Turkeys or something like that with crinkly feathers and she LOVES that one!

LO thinks books are to eat right now.... but DD1 loves books and has so many of them. She's 2, but her current favourite is Goodnight Moon. She has it completely memorized and will randomly recite it.

She loved any touch and feel books when she was younger. Lift the flaps are fun too, but she probably tore off half of the flaps. We got 4 of the "That's not my...." books in a pack at Costco recently and they are a hit!

+ 1 for Sandra Boynton books. M loves them! Especially the Going to Bed Book and Barnyard Dance. We just bought 5 more from Barnes the other day.

Also Klara Katz books, the Zoo book, Brown Bear, and B is for Bear (touch and feel book)

+1 for anything Sandra Boynton. My kids love her books! The Going to Bed Book is a favorite by her. When they were babies they were obsessed with Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and I Love You Stinky Face.

ETA holliberry28 we share a brain

Haha, I was just going to say, I read your post and thought it was mine, but was confused. Because, sleep.

I also love any Lois Ehlert books (we got a set for the shower that included all the Chicka Chicka books as well as a bunch of others)and anything by Mem Fox
