We love BOOKS!!!!!
Okay, it is a well-established fact that I love to read, that I love lists, and that I especially love lists of books! But you know what? JonZReaTom loves books too! The kids can't read yet, but they LOVE to be read to, and they have some favorites as well. I won't even begin to list ALL the books I've read to them, but I will list their favorites here (with a link in the sidebar so you can check back often!) Some of the books will be baby books, others more recent favorites.
Anything by Sandra Boynton--Barnyard Dance, Pajama Time, Doggies, etc
Anything by Karen Katz--even NOW my kids love these books, and we come home with at least one nearly every time we leave the library! They especially like the Counting Kisses books where every page is a new number of kisses to wake baby up or put baby to sleep. These are really precious books!
Anything by Leslie Patricelli--Yes, YES, No, NO; Yucky, Yummy; Blankie--lots of books about opposites, all with the same endearing main character, Thomas is especially fond of these books
Dinotrux by Chris Gall--currently Jonathan's all-time favorite
Pinkalicious by Victoria and Elizabeth Kann--Reagan's fav, not such fans of the Purple version, haven't yet read the Gold version
Anna Dewdney's Llama, Llama books
Any of the Max and Ruby books by Rosemary Wells
The Little Engine that Could by Watty Piper--a particular favorite of Zachary's because it's about a train. He loves trains!

Here's a tip for the future to keep them reading. I stole it from this week's Dear Abby column. A woman wrote in that her kids loved TV a lot more than they loved to read, so she let them watch TV only with it muted and the closed captioning turned on. BRILLIANT!
Your kiddos are such a joy to read with, since they are way into interacting with the story and the reader. I especially love how they follow the unwritten rule that whoever chose the book gets the lap!
Watch for the Babar series. Local library should have some.
