My mom got them for my daughter when she was a baby, so we have lots of backissues too... and now that my son is almost two, he's gotten the subscription and he loves them. We love Kim and Carrots, and all of the Mother Goose rhymes they've been sprinkling in there lately are great too. My son yells, "Yellow Duck, Yellow Duck" when we get to that part in Brown Bear... Oh - another of his favorites is "The Lady with the Aligator Purse".Emily Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04451102661519375820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224074171829015497.post-57239704367076325302008-05-02T20:04:00.000-07:002008-05-02T20:04:00.000-07:00Oh I love reading to Miss Grace and am glad she lo...Oh I love reading to Miss Grace and am glad she loves it too some of our favourites include Eric Carle books, Pamela Allen books, Linley Dodd books and we also like some Australian poetry that have been turned into picture books inlcuding Mulga Bill's Bycycle by Bango Patterson.

We started a routine since they were babies to read books before nap time (even if it was two naps a day at that point) and also before bed. We buy books and also borrow from the library. I have a son that is almost 5 and so we also read books that were in his collection.<BR/>Here are my 2 3/4yr old's favorite books at the current time:<BR/>*Anything from Patricia Pingry (we are Christian and love her books about God, morals and the Bible)<BR/>*BOZ the green Bear (like the Christian version of Barney)<BR/>*Anything that talks about the alphabet or letters and words to go with them.<BR/>*How to go Potty books :)<BR/>*Are you my Mother?<BR/>*Go dogs Go!<BR/>*Dr. Seuss' Alphabet bookesusan94https://www.blogger.com/profile/15528327926546142352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224074171829015497.post-20746423685746944052008-05-02T08:43:00.000-07:002008-05-02T08:43:00.000-07:00My two boys had books from they day they were born...My two boys had books from they day they were born too. At first they were just toys, they chewed them, bashed them etc but soon grew to love looking at the pictures and listening to the words. We too love the Eric Carle books - The Very Hungry Caterpillar is an absolute must in our house! The Dick Bruna "Miffy" books are lovely too, really bright, simple pictures and very sweet stories.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04290653909989504581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224074171829015497.post-25576517354858583992008-05-02T08:41:00.000-07:002008-05-02T08:41:00.000-07:00Thanks for posting these MaryBeth!
