For the first post of books, look through the Random section of my blog.  I am going to try to post lists of 4 or 5 favorite books periodically- I love to read and I know that rubs off on my kids, we are constantly bringing home stacks of books from the library- and it helps us to find those really fantastic books that you love to read again and again.

This is a really fun book to read, and the story is really clever.  I love books that rhyme.

I love to sing, so this book is really fun- has great illustrations and there is a whole series of Sing-A-Long books, so if you like this one there are others.

Goodnight, Sweet Pig  by: Linda Baily and Josee Masse

Such a sweet story, with counting so if you like to practice numbers with your kiddo this book is a great choice.  Love the illustrations and a great book to read before bed.

There is a reason why this book is so popular- what a great story- so simple but a great book to help settle a child down for sleep.
