OOOH, great list! I highly recommend "A Chair for My Mother" and another Vera B Williams book, "More, More, More Said the Baby". Also anything by Kevin Henkes. Phantom gave Henkes' books to Younger Daughter and they remain her favorites today.
This is a fabulous list!
I'm a tad bit disappointed that they don't have any Boynton on it. I mean hello, "The Going to Bed Book"? "Snuggle Puppies?"
What are they thinking to leave her out?
Well, yeah, it's true. Or "Hippos go Berserk!"
you MUST get 'don't let the pigeon drive the bus!'. freakin hilarious!! i laughed out loud reading it. my babies have no idea what i was saying, but they had a great time hearing me crack up!
joy
You know Simms Taback???
(Sound of Phantom boggling).
I met him once or twice. My sister, of course, knew him pretty well.
Wow, you know famous people!
Boynton missing: a crime. That list is its own meme. Also, Kevin Henkes--awesome.
Click Clack Moo--that is a funny one! I think I've basically read the same stuff as you.
What a fantastic list. I'm amazed at how many of these I've never even heard of. NOte to self: get to the library.
No kidding on the Boynton.
Also--where's Milne?
And like you said, Liz, Olivia--the pictures of that pig are PRICELESS!
We're not quite old enough for this list yet (right now, I'm just reading the No Hitting page over and over again from a Karen Katz book), but I'm going to save it for later. Thanks!
