I agree. My kids particularly liked Snuggle Puppy and Blue Hat Green Hat.

Seuss's My Many Colored Days is a fave here as well.

[zoebugsmom]

Oh! Also- Where is Baby's Belly Button. DS loved that one.

We've had lots of board books from that age range that stood the test of time. In other words, we read them over and over for years and still do. Some we bought multiple times over those years.

I've listed many of our favorites. I tried to star the very, very favorites of those! But I put amazon links so you can look inside the book and/or look at reviews to decide. I also think it's nice to check out potential books from the library. In my experience we loved the ones that were going to "endure" from almost the first read. If I could only pick four maybe Going on a Bear Hunt, Wocket in the Pocket, Mother Goose, Blue Hat Green Hat.
