Good question, Amy!!
I think each of my kids has a different favorite book, depending on the most recent library trip.
4yo currently likes to read "Not a Box." She also often reads through a book we got her about the human body, her newest fascination. (Watch out, world...I believe we have an up-and-coming doctor on our hands!)
2 yo loves a set of 4 Cars books. He also likes to look through an "I Spot" book from Blues Clues.
My favorite children's book...hmmm. I've recently been drawn to the classics. So, some books I remember loving from my childhood (and I still think they're cute books) are "Blueberries for Sal" and "Mike Mulligan and the Steam Shovel."
right now Levi's favorite book is just pictures of animals that we make the sounds for (he's only 1). But I LOVE childrens books and could name so many favorites. I'll try to stick to just a few =0)
1. Caps for sale
2. I love you forever
3. Tacky the penguin
4. the kissing hand
I used to love Dr Seuss books as a kid and never understood why my dad would cringe when i picked it out...then I had kids! They are great books but so bloody long! I have a pretty good vocabulary and grasp of the English language and I even get tripped up on some of his words! LOL the kids think that is funny though. My fav of his right now that the kids love is a 'new' called 'Diffendoofer Day' I'm sure I just butchered the spelling of that!
when the girls were younger they loved Goodnight Moon, so much so that we didn't actually need the book to read it to them at night. ;o) Otherwise though, they don't really have favorites, they just love anything we read! Which is fantastic!!! I love that they love books.
anything with BIG trucks and tractors seems to go over well. also books by Eric Carle (Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you See?)
Tanja -- I've heard of "I Love You Forever," but I haven't heard of the others. Guess I'll have a list to check out the next time we head to the library! Do you own those books?
Kelly -- Dr. Seuss is always a good read to get laughing together. My favorite is Fox in Socks -- soooo many tongue twisters! The kids like the Dr. Seuss ABC book, too.
Kristy -- We've just discovered Eric Carle. "Brown Bear Brown Bear" is the first book Joshua 'read' -- memorized and recited while turning the pages.
I also forgot to mention the Sandra Boynton books. My favorite is "But Not the Hippopotamus." Naomi's first book that she 'read' when she was 2 was "Blue Hat Green Hat." Fun books!
Olivia's favorite book is The Night Before Christmas. We have been reading it every night since last Christmas. We know it by heart by now like you with Good Night Moon, Kelly! The kid does not like change, what can I say? My favorite is Oh, The Places You'll Go!
We have really been enjoying some good classic children's books lately- some of our favorites are like yours, Karen, "Mike Mulligan", "Blueberries for Sal", "Make Way for Ducklings", "Lentil", "Corduroy", "Harry the Dirty Dog", "One Morning in Maine", "The Biggest Bear", "Caps for Sale". I love that those books were written YEARS ago and they are still simply great books!
My son is totally into pirates and his new favorite is "Pirates Don't Change Diapers" and "How I Became a Pirate". My daughter loves anything girly.
I have a problem...seriously, it's a children's book addiction. I buy all our books used and the fact that I can get them so cheap makes it easier to buy tons. We are severely lacking bookcases at our house to hold all of our treasures! I'm just glad that my kids enjoy reading so much and have kind of joined me in the addiction!
Ooooo.....you guys have some good ones listed! For me though, it's One fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. Hands down, my favorite book ever.
My kids like it too, but not as much as I do. :)
Currently the book they fight over the most is their Treasury of Bible Stories. I'm pleased that they like it so much, but fighting over it seems a little um.....counter-productive? Backwards? Not getting the message? I don't know. They're 2 and 1, so I guess whatever. There's a lesson there somewhere I think. :)
Mackenzie loves Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb. She laughs at every page. Her other favorite is a book called Food for Thought. It's a cool book where the authors have fashioned different fruits and vegetables to look like animals, shapes, objects, opposites. It really is fun. Oh yeah, and lift the flap books.
My kids have always had a love for books. Now at age 5, almost 6, they will gather a big pile of any books and just look and read for almost 1 whole hour by themselves! So, no real favorites, but they are bookworms, which I love.
I prefer the classical books for children. We just got Now We are Six, by Milne, which are the original Pooh Bear poems. I am kind of anti-Disney sometimes, so I like the originals!
