Gabe has turned into quite the little 'reader.' He's loved books since the minute he came home. Recently, he's started to grab a book or two, his boo-ba, a stuffed animal or two, hop on the chair in his room and read to his friends. Though we have an extensive book collection...I haven't bought a new book since he came home. I feel like we both need some new children's reads. I'd love to hear from you what your favorite books are. In about a week, I'll draw a name and send one lucky winner one of our favorite books...For Just One Day by Laura Leuck and Marc Boutavant. The story is great and the illustrations are amazing.
So, please just leave a comment of your favorite children's book and good luck!

Miles and I LOVE LOVE LOVE "All the World" by Liz Garton Scanton. I could give you about twenty other titles because I'm a total children's book addict, but that is definitely my favorite. :)
I've never heard of this book/author and that's saying something! I'd love to win. Right now favorites for my kids (1 each) are "Monster Trucks, Monster Trucks" by Marc Todd, "Sing Along Song" by JoAnn Early Mackem, and "If I Were a Lion" by Sarah Weeks.
There's one called "The Gruffalo" that totally cracks us up.
We love books!
One of our favorite series is the "David" series by David Shannon. Our favorite book for the pre-K crowd in the series is "Oops!" It's short, fun, and teaches them all the words for when they make messes!
Oh man, this is an awesome giveaway!! I'm like Tiffany - a total children's book addict. Here are a few that we're reading a lot lately "Little Hoot" by Amy Krouse Rosenthal; "Dog Loves Books" by Louise Yates (I think I love that one more than X); and "Not a Box" by Antoinette Poris.
ANYTHING by Todd Parr. We love "The Family Book," "The Peace Book," and "The I Love You Book."
Mine loves Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell!
Ohh, a book giveaway!
Seth has been calling all his books lately "Bee Bim Bop," so that actual book is on of our favorites.
We also love "That's Not My Train" and "Ten Little Fingers."
I have to pick 1 book?!? I love Sandra Boyton's books - especially "But Not the Hippopotamus" which always makes me laugh (more than the kids, really).
"Alpha-Oops" is awesome (this was ideal around 3 years old).
I could list more but I'll start with those 2. If you want more suggestions just say the word - no giveaway needed. I love talking about Children's books!
What a great idea! And I am also a picture book addict! We love anything by Eric Carle. Our current favorite is The Lonely Firefly. We also love the Mrs. McNosh series. Brendan totally cracks up at "Mrs. McNosh and the Great Big Squash."
Great idea! Max loves books too (which in turn makes me a very happy mama). Anything about trucks, of course especially "I Stink." Any Sandra Boynton book. We also LOVE the "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" books by Mo Willems - good stuff!
Great idea-plus everyone gets to see what other great books kids are reading! We too love books; one of our current favorites is "Rolie Polie Olie" by William Joyce and Hannah is into the classic Golden Books like "The Little Red Caboose."
I love Amelia Badelia books!!
My two absolute favorites to share with children are Leonardo the Terrible Monster by Mo Willems and Beware of the Frog by William Bee.
What a great giveaway! I love children's books and it is hard to choose a favorite:
*"Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" by Bill Martin Jr., John Archambault, and Lois Ehlert
*"Knuffle Bunny" by Mo Willems (actually any book of Mo Willems is a favorite!)
*"Duck and Goose" by Tad Hills
*Any book by Lois Ehlert
*"Tough Boris" by Mem Fox (another great author!)
*"Why? by Lili Potpara
I love watching my kids flip through books on their own! Parker really enjoys the Byron Barton Books ("My Car", "Trains", "Planes", "Boats", and "Trucks" are the ones we have). We also enjoy Amy Krouse Rosenthal books (we just checked out "Duck! Rabbit" and "Yes Day!" from the library and they are a lot of fun!). I could go on & on... we love children's books!
I love reading everyone's favorite books! i'm so glad you asked the question. Current favorites in our house: the little engine that could and "Jazz Baby" by Lisa Wheeler.
i spy george! "bark, george" is very cute!
children's books are my favorite thing about teaching :) and i can't wait to share my favorites with choi boy as a mom!
mo willems is definitely AWESOME. his new cat the cat books are hilarious and appropriate for the younger crowd.
kevin henkes is also another favorite author and his non-mouse books, "kitten's first full moon," "old bear," "my garden," etc. are sweet and good for younger kids.
i'm also a big fan of the "olivia" books by ian falconer - she's quite a diva :)
peter reynolds also has some beautiful books -- i especially love "ish".
okay, i'm done. for now! :)
Click Clack Moo is great! Duck for President is also really funny. He's probably at the age that he'll like the "If you give a _ a _ books" such as "If you give a pig a pancake." You are also at the point that Dr Seuss will become a constant part of your life. I'd try Hop on Pop or Oh the Thinks You Can Think,
I just can't enough of children's books! I'm going to have to come back to everyone's comments and look these up on Amazon! :)
Right now Noah is loving and I must read to him nightly...
"I Stink" ( and we just got in the mail yesterday his friend "I'm Dirty"
"Twinkle Twinkly Little Star..and other favorite nursery rhymes"....there are some wacky rhymes in there, but Noah loves it.
"A Night Night Prayer"...such a cute book. Noah waves goodnight at each page to the trees, the puppy, etc.
we're Maisy addicts at our house :) (Lucy Cousins is the author). but we're also HUGE fans of the library. we can have brand new (to us) books every single week and not have to pay any money!!!
Goodnight Lulu is so cute to read for bedtime!
Awesome giveaway! That looks like a great book--we haven't read that one. One of Joel's favorite books is Choo-Choo Clickety Clack by Margaret Mayo. We don't own it, but check it out frequently!
Oh, great idea!
Let's see... our current rotation includes:
*Llama Llama Misses Mama by Anna Dewdney
*A Lot of Otters by Barbara Helen Berger
*I Stink by the McMullens
It's funny, S has been on a big "picture book" kick where he wants to look at the DK books all the time too.
I probably was just supposed to mention one, but we always read three at bedtime. :-/
Our favorite children's book is "I Love You So..." by Marianne Richmond. I can pretty much read every page word for word without actually looking at the words. And Devin will finish each phrase as I read...too cute!
ok, as you know, i had to think quite a bit about this. any book by Sandra Boynton is a favorite around here. we love, "snuggle puppy" "snoozers" "pajama time" and "the going to bed book" a non Boynton book we love is "corduroy" by Don Freeman. i love books. cohen loves them more and more each day. one of my favorite things is to see which book he picks out when given a choice. it's so special to read each and every book with him and we LOVE repeating (over and over and over. . .) the many books that we have!
Oh..cute picture!
He will be a smart boy!
It's very very good to read a book.
I hope he will have a reading habit
There aer so many great books out there! I am loving Llama Llama Red Pajamma right now. As well as all the pigeon books by Mo Willems. But my FAV by far is I'll Love You Forever by Robert Munsch - so beautiful.

We LOVE the all of the Todd Parr books. The colors are so bright and fun. "We Belong Together" is a favorite. We also really like "Five Little Ducks" We sing this book about 10x a day!
Love giveaways!
Some of our favs are:
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
Where the Wild Things Are
If You Give a Mouse A Cookie
The Going to Bed Book
WooHoo books!! Nice work on the reading, Gabe!
We're BIG book lovers...some favorites include Lyle the Crocodile, If you give a Mouse..., Llama llama books, Dr. Seuss, Goodnight Moon, Amelia Bedelia, and Caps for Sale!
Si's current favorite is Dog Food by Saxton Freymann.
Little D's fave right now (and has been for a while) the "I Stink!" book. There are two others by the same authors that we have at home from the library right now.
We also love the Eric Carle books. Great illustrations.
I also love "Llama, Llama Red Pajama." It gets D a little too revved up at bedtime (he loves to yell the "MAMA! MAMA!" parts) so I think I need to move that book downstairs for now. ;-)
GREAT giveaway idea.
We also go to the library at least twice/week.
