I don't know what it is about this book. Just loves it. He will sit in his car seat and just read it and read it.
Baby Einstein: Jane's Animal ExpeditionBaby Einstein: Jane's Animal Expedition by Julie Aigner-clark
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.01
One of his all-time faves. We've been through two of them. They should call them "tear the flap" books instead of "lift the flap". But that's not the book's fault.
Baby Einstein: DogsBaby Einstein: Dogs by Julie Aigner-clark
Buy used from: $1.51
These are just awesome. Dogs pant when they are warm. This book taught my baby to pant.

Look Who's Talking! On the FarmLook Who's Talking! On the Farm by Danny Tepper
Buy used from: $3.55
These books are GREAT fun. You get to open up the page and put your lips through a whole so it looks like the animal is talking. Hi-larious. Nice illustrations, too.
Count with Dora! (Dora the Explorer)Count with Dora! (Dora the Explorer) by Phoebe Beinstein
Buy new: $4.99 / Used from: $0.01
My kid loves this. He loves anything Dora. He is obsessed with Dora. I don't know if it's just that it's Dora of he loves the counting aspect. He does like to count, even though he's not yet two years old. I will have to get him some more Dora books and see if he loves them as much. As a matter of fact, he's watching Dora right now as I write this.

Gorgeous pictures and poems.
The Boy Who Wouldn't Go to Bed (Picture Puffins)The Boy Who Wouldn't Go to Bed (Picture Puffins) by Helen Cooper
Buy new: $5.99 / Used from: $0.01
BOTH of my kids have loved this book. It does have some nice illustrations, but I don't really understand the love other than that. Maybe because the little boy takes off in his car to avoid bed. And you get to say "vroooom chugga chug" a lot. I can see how that would be popular.
I Love You As Much... Board BookI Love You As Much... Board Book by Laura Krauss Melmed
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01
Guaranteed to make Mommies cry. Or at least feel warm fuzzies.
Go, Dog. Go! (Beginner Books)Go, Dog. Go! (Beginner Books) by P.D. Eastman
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.01
I loved this book as a kid and I shared it with my kids. My toddler likes to imitate the part where they talk about their hats. It's cute.
Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! by Mo Willems
Buy used from: $9.15
I actually learned about this book at work from a 20-something bookseller. Our staff of 10 adults took turns reading it to each other in different accents. I don't know if that says more about the staff or the book, but we loved it. Oh, and kids like it, too.

Again, both kids love this one. Not one of my favorites, but my husband does some pretty funny voices that make it more entertaining.

Cars (Widescreen Edition)Cars (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $9.90
A favorite around here. My son has a little ride along from Cars that he calls his "bike". He calls this his "bike movie". He says "bike movie watch" numerous times a day. You've probably seen it. But if you haven't, it has a refreshing ending, teaching that helping others is more important than winning. Nice.

Signing Time! Vol. 1: My First Signs DVDSigning Time! Vol. 1: My First Signs DVD
Buy used from: $11.89
We LOVE all the Signing Time DVDs. Signing has helped my son communicate his needs more clearly to us before he had the words down. His words aren't always perfect, so if he has a sign to along with them, it REALLY helps. He also is very proud of himself when he uses his signs. It's fun for all of us. Signing Time has great songs that kids love and don't drive adults crazy, either.
