Book Recommendations?

post #1 of 7

My 10 month old son loves books, and we need more good ones. Please recommend books that your little ones like and you don't mind reading.

Here are our favorites right now:

Tails by Matthew van Fleet
Corduroy by Don Freeman
Karen Katz lift the flap books
Hop on Pop by Dr Seuss

He also has a custom-made Sesame Street book from his Grandma that he really likes.

Sheep in a Jeep is a good one - DS LOVED it!
The Big Red Barn, Little Gorilla, Big Fish Little Fish and any DK board book we all hits, too.

I second the Karen Katz books. "Where's my sweetie pie?" is a big hit at our house right now. Also "That's not my bunny!" which has different textures for baby to touch. That's not my bunny! His tail is TOOOOO fluffy! (emphasis and personification added.... )

ETA: we like the Karen Katz valentine book, but the one I was thinking of after all is "Where's my sweetie pie" by Ed Emberly. DD likes it because it's rhyme-y and there's a mirror on the last page where she can see herself ("There you are! Hello Sweetie Pie!"). His big green monster book is cute, too--I looked at it in the bookstore the other day.

I love Sandra Boynton books! My favourites are But Not the Hippopatomus and Your Personal Penguin. But they are all very cute.

I also have a book called "Grumpy Bird" by Jeremy Tankard, that is fun to read.

My LO (9mo) also loves books. She's not too particular, but she especially loves the Bright Babies "First Words" book - real pictures of everyday items on each page. It's the only thing that will get her to do tummy time for very long.

She also likes Rachel Hale's "Baby Colors" - great photos of real babies.

We love Boynton books and Dr. Seuss. We also love "G is for Goat" by Patricia Polacco in board book format - it's great.

Boynton books for sure! I adore her books. Hippos Go Berserk is my personal fav.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carl. (personally Brown Bear, Brown Bear kinda drives me crazy, but I love this one.)
Goodnight Moon
The Runaway Bunny
Sleepy Beasties by Neecy Twinem (very sweet bedtime book w/ lovely illustrations)
