 | Good Night, Gorilla by Peggy Rathmann
Buy used from: $8.96 This book is enormously popular for a reason, despite having very few words. Both of my children absolutely love finding the balloon and banana in every picture. This book is deceptively simple in its charm yet it has had remarkably enduring appeal in our home. If you only buy one book on this list, this is my recommendation.

 | Goodnight Max (Max and Ruby) by Rosemary Wells

 | Bear Snores On (Classic Board Books) by Karma Wilson
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.53 A group of animals has a midnight party next to a sleeping bear. Rhyming verses make this book pleasant to read and a more enduring choice for parents fatigued by 100 times through the same book.

 | Freight Train Board Book (Caldecott Collection) by Donald Crews
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.01 Very few words but crisp, colorful illustrations that are somehow very alluring. Great book to teach colors of the rainbow. Also, there are few enough words that my daughter can "read" this book all by herself and get everything right.
