Favorite Children's Books
What are your favorite children's books? My son Teddy absolutely loves to read (I think it's a family trait) and I always like to give books as presents instead of yet another toy, but I feel like we keep reading and I keep giving the same books over and over again. As much as I love my son and love the fact that he loves to read, I think I'll scream if I have to read Commotion in the Ocean again. So please share and help me expand our horizons - what are your favorite children's books? What are you children's favorite books?
Thanks!Mom to Teddy and Pip. Naming #3.

He's 2 (28 months to be exact).
Also, I think I should clarify. He has at least 100 books. He just gravitates to the same few again and again. I'm just wondering what your favorite books are in hope of finding a few new ones he'll love.
Thanks!Mom to Teddy and Pip. Naming #3.

I still have a huge collection from when I was a child, but here is a list of the more memorable ones:
Minnie the Witch by Korky Paul and Valerie Thomas
Hector An Old Bear by Dorothy Butler
Rose meets Mr Wintergarten by Bob Graham
There's an alligator under my bed by Mercer Mayer*
The Rainbabies by Laura Krauss Melmed
Uncle Mick's Magic Trick by Stephen Scheding*
Wicked Rose by Sally Farrell & Jan D'Silva
And of course Marvellous Mr Mcgee by Pamela Allen which was my all time favourite. Anything by Pamela Allen is great though.
There is also Enid Blyton which I adored, though they are quite long but you can always try it out.
The ones I marked with a * are ones I think your son may really enjoy, I know my younger brother loved them.
Also I'm not sure if they are in print anymore as they were published late 80s to early 90s, but you can always try online stores like amazon or book depositry.Last edited by sunshine kid; June 24th, 2012 at 10:43 AM.
