Sandra Boyton Books - I especially love the Belly Button Book and Pajama Time
Dr. Suess - The rhythm of these books is great for kids development and kids seem to love them. I love Dr. Suess's ABC Book and my son loves the Cat in the Hat.
P.D. Eastman - A protegee of Dr. Suess. Some of my favorites of his include Go, Dog Go! and The Best Nest.
Eric Carle - He wrote the classics the Hungry Caterpillar and Brown Bear, Brown Bear.
Little Critter books by Mercer Mayer

The Way I Feel by Janan Cain
Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney
The Napping House by Audrey and Don Wood
Dog Breath by Dav Pilkey - This was voted by the 3rd graders I volunteered with in Oregon as their favorite a few years ago. It is a clever story. I think younger kids will enjoy this, too.

How nice of you to include Janan Cain's The Way I Feel! We love it so much there is also a board book edition AND now it's in Spanish, too! Mrs. Cain also helped us create a free downloadable how-to plan for teaching kids to draw facial expressions. See www.parentingpress.com and select "Teachers" and then "Classroom Activities."
ReplyDeleteIf you have girls then you have probably heard of Fancy Nancy. Another funny one is Alice the Fairy. My four year old daughter loves them.
