Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
by Eric Carle (Illustrator), Bill Martin Jr.
"Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see? I see a white horse looking at me. White horse, white horse, what do you see? I see a red dog looking at me..." The chant is hypnotic and Eric Carle's collages are unique and wonderful. A great "pretending to read" book. Your child is guaranteed to turn the pages, say the memorized words and pretend to read it him or herself.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Board Book
by Eric Carle
Eric Carle's inimitable collages illustrate this simple story of a caterpillar who can't get enough to eat. Little kids love to stick their fingers in the small holes the caterpillar made when he nibbled through the fruit on every page.

The Wheels on the Bus (Pop-up Edition)
by Paul O. Zelinsky
The wipers really wipe! The windows really open and close! And yes, the wheels really go 'round and 'round! The classic song marvelously illustrated with flaps that let your child take control of the action. It may not be all that long until the cardboard breaks, but, while it lasts, the two of you will have a ball.

Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?
by Dr. Seuss
I haven't listed many Dr. Seuss books because they're so famous that they don't need to be mentioned. It goes without saying: If it's by Dr. Seuss, it's hilarious and wonderful and stimulating and every other good adjective you can think of. But in our house Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You? was a particular favorite.

Goodnight Moon
by Margaret Wise Brown, Clement Hurd (Illustrator)
If you don't have patience, don't introduce Goodnight Moon to your child. Because some kids insist on having this book read to them every evening before bed, night after night, for years. Soothing and meditative, it's the perfect "wind down" after a busy day of running around.

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
by John Archambault, Lois Ehlert (Illustrator), Bill Martin Jr.
"A told B and B told C, I'll meet you at the top of the coconut tree." So begins Bill Martin Jr.'s famous chant. If the alphabet were an army on the march, this could be their anthem. Except that, at the end, they all fall down! Note: This book comes in regular hardcover or as a board book and also as Chicka Chicka Sticka Sticka : An ABC Sticker Book.

Sandra Boynton has a unique talent for being gentle and outrageous at the same time. That makes her perfect for the youngest audiences. If fact, any of her books are great "first books" for children as little as newborns. Here are some of our favorites.
