  3. My daughter is only 21 months old, but she LOVES books! I have caught her in her play room surrounded by toys looking longingly at the bookshelf above her reach seeking out the book she would "read" if she could get her hands on it. With that said, there is no favorite in our house, but "I Don't Have Your Eyes" and "Mr. Brown Can Moo" are two big ones. She also loves David and Goliath... well, Goliath.

    By the way, you're more than welcome to follow my blog too. Email me and I'll send you an invite. We also have a daughter adopted from Korea.

  15. We're still waiting on the referral of our first child, so I don't have any "favorite books" experience from the parent perspective. But as a child, my favorites were the Richard Scarry books. Loved them :)

  16. Hannah loves variety in her reading but always gets a kick out of "Roly Poly Olie" by William Joyce. Our current favorites are Winnie the Pooh books and anything with trains!

  17. Lots of favorite books - at Christmastime I LOVE "A Child's Christmas at St. Nicholas Circle".

    Another children's book I'd definitely recommend for around 3-4 is "Alpha Oops"

    A funny one for preschool and early elementary is "Hiccupotomus" (the "credits" at the end are hysterical - parents will crack up).
