 | The Going-To-Bed Book by Sandra Boynton
Buy new: $5.99 / Used from: $0.01 Great rhythm and rhyme although the story doesn't quite make sense-I never understood why they take a bath first and then exercise.
|
 | Peek-A Who? by Nina Laden
Buy new: $6.95 / Used from: $2.27 One of the first books the baby turned the pages on. Great colorful illustrations and rhymes.
|
 | Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.01 The ultimate bedtime classic!! I start yawning every time I read this.
|
 | Everywhere Babies by Susan Meyers
Buy new: $10.88 / Used from: $0.01 I love this book-it shows a wide variety of babies and types of families. It has a great message: Every day, everywhere babies are loved-for trying so hard, for traveling so far, for being so wonderful...just as they are.
|
 | Time for Bed by Mem Fox
Buy new: $6.95 / Used from: $0.01 My favorite going to bed story. It's easy to memorize and I would actually just say it to my daughter as I rocked her to put her to sleep.
|
 | Dinosaur's Binkit by Sandra Boynton
Buy new: $7.88 / Used from: $0.01 Great going to bed book. Has flaps to open and a fleecy blanket to feel but also a cute story. Most of the Boynton books are great but skip Doggies, it's not worth it.
|
 | Hippos Go Berserk! by Sandra Boynton
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $6.05 Another Boynton hit. A counting book for those of us who always wondered what the hippos would do if you left them home alone.
|
 | Pat the Bunny (Touch and Feel Book) by Dorothy Kunhardt
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.62 Another classic! The kid loves to do all the activities and turn the pages. They shouldn't mess with success-Pat the pony isn't nearly as good.
|
 | Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star by Kate Toms
Another great going to bed book-too bad it looks like it's out of print. A mouse's message to the little star. Great pictures and a scratchy star to find on every page. Are there stars for us all up there? Or do some folks have to share?
|
 | The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
Buy used from: $13.98 We have the board book version of this and the baby loves to poke at the holes. Brown bear brown bear by the same author is another favorite.
|
 | Barnyard Dance! (Boynton on Board) by Sandra Boynton
Buy new: $6.95 / Used from: $0.01 I must seem like a Boynton addict but I just had to put this one because you can sing it (I do it to a country tune) and see the animals get funky!! One last Boynton recommendation-Snuggle Puppy.
|
 | Flamingos on the Roof by Calef Brown
Buy new: $10.88 / Used from: $5.96 This is a book of wacky poems with crazy illustrations. It was great for the time before the baby started grabbing at the books. The poems are funny and the pictures crack me up. Shel Silverstein for a new generation.
|
 | The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats
Buy used from: $6.89 Wow-a book that takes place not on a farm but in a city!! And doesn't have any animals in it!! And has great illustrations and a simple story. We have the giant board book version and it's a favorite.
|
 | Animal Friends: A Global Celebration of Children and Animals by Maya Ajmera
Buy new: $6.95 / Used from: $0.01 Photographs of children in different cultures with their animals. The baby likes to look at these pictures. Global Babies in the same series is good too.
|
 | Touch and Feel: Farm by DK Publishing
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.01 The DK Touch and Feel books are sturdy and have different textures. We also have Wild Animals.
