    Well we love books!! I might fill up your page with all the books we love…

    My daughter LOVES being read to. We belong to the Dolly Pardon Imagination LIbrary adn they send toddlers 1 book a month (or every 6 weeks) anyway she has gotten some books that personally I would never have bought because I didn’t think she would enjoy them but they have become her favorite.

    She loves Boom-A-Chick-a-Rock and Rooster Can’t Cockadoodle Do. They are for more older children so that is why I would never have bought them but she loves them and laughs and the right times. We actually had to hide the rooster book because she wanting us to read it over and over again and we kind of wanted to take a break lol.

    Another book she absolutely loves is Little Bear, I bought a series of books at a library sale and this has become a favorite. I have some old Little Bear VHS tapes from the 80’s and she will watch him too. I have heard a lot of moms rave about the Pigeon series so I am giong to have to look into them

    Hope I didn’t ramble too much!

    We have lots of great books we like to read, our absolute favorite would be
    Giggle, Giggle, Quack.
    This next book I came across at the library and was immediately curious just because of the title – Walter the Farting Dog, OMG funny, kids loved it too!
    The last favorite of ours would have to be The Very Hungry Caterpillar

    One of our favorites is When I Grow Up by Al Yankovic! It is so much fun to read and my kids laugh out loud even though we have read it a thousand times!

    Hi! I want to add a list of books that were favorites every year I taught preschool (7 years). Not sure if any of these have been mentioned- some are quite popular & some maybe less heard of, but very worth investing in.

    1. ‘King Bidgood’s in the Bathtub’ by Audrey & Don Wood (Caldecotte Honor book)
    Also by same: ‘Silly Sally’

    Audrey Wood (author) & Don Wood (illustrator) are one of my favorites book writing duos for preschoolers.

    2. ‘Peaceful Piggy Meditation’ by Kerry Lee Maclean

    3. ‘How Full Is Your Bucket’ (for kids) by Tom Rath & Mary Reckmeyer, illustrated by Maurie Manning (*This book is for k-2nd grade, but I found the lesson and activities in it completely do-able with 4 year olds)

    5. ‘Mouse Paint’ by Ellen Stoll Walsh

    6. ‘Elmer’ by David McKee

    My kids also really enjoy the Knuffle Bunny books. We’re big fans of Sandra Boynton’s silly rhymes and my baby’s current obsession is from the little miss/ little mr. books, Mr. Noisy. The best collection of books I have found to be “The 20th Century Children’s Book Treasury”
