She loves the fast pace, the descriptive sounds, the "uh oh" on every other page, and the "What's That?!!" when they find a bear. Although she loves books, this is the only one she will actually sit through beginning to end when I read it out loud.<BR/>I've been collecting children's books since high school. My favorites are The Daddy Mountain by Jules Feiffer, Knuffle Bunny by Mo Willems, and Alexander and the Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst. <BR/>It will be interesting to see if Brooklyn will even like my favorites as she grows older!Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02138070383417935570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34085124.post-75595202066373660122008-02-20T05:56:00.000-06:002008-02-20T05:56:00.000-06:00How did I miss this post??? :) Kitten's First Ful...How did I miss this post??? :) Kitten's First Full Moon is great! You might want to check out I'm Dirty, which is like I Stink. I think it's about a backhoe or something.<BR/><BR/>Caledcott's are awarded for their illustrations, but sometimes their stories are pretty dull. I do like almost everything by Mo Willems. Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late, Leonardo the Terrible Monster, Knuffle Bunny, etc. He makes me die laughing. And kids love the responsiveness of the pigeon books. <BR/><BR/>How about The Monster at the End of the Book? You know that book with Grover that was out when we were kids? There is a sequel, too, a board book of Another Monster at the End of the Book, which is about Elmo. I always loved the Monster.<BR/><BR/>When Elijah gets a touch older, he might like The Squire and the Scroll by Jennie Bishop. Right now it is probably too long/too many words.<BR/><BR/>I like the Olivia books, too, but some moms don't because she sort of has attitudes. But Olivia CRACKS me up!Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02485310328441248086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34085124.post-4616636930431523102008-02-13T18:51:00.000-06:002008-02-13T18:51:00.000-06:00Hello!This is Kelly DiPucchio, author of BED HOGS,...Hello!<BR/>This is Kelly DiPucchio, author of BED HOGS, chiming in to say thanks for including me on your list of favorite books for 2007!<BR/>I'm so glad your family enjoyed the book. <BR/>Keep reading!<BR/>hogs & kisses,<BR/>kellyKELLY DIPUCCHIOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805805588835935796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34085124.post-78903399389686578892008-02-12T15:23:00.000-06:002008-02-12T15:23:00.000-06:00"Blueberries for Sal" by Robert McCloskey (actuall..."Blueberries for Sal" by Robert McCloskey (actually anything by him is great!)--I adore his illustrations.

I have only read two of them....Click Clack Moo, and Chicka Chicka...., my kids love both of those too. <BR/><BR/>Our favorites are There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly by-- Uh Oh, I can't remember his name!!!!!
