By an Amazon.com customer
Pat the Bunny (Touch and Feel Book)Pat the Bunny (Touch and Feel Book) by Dorothy Kunhardt

Yup. I had two copies of this before my son was even born.
Are You My Mother?Are You My Mother? by P.D. Eastman
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.01
When that little bird chases after the jet, believing it's his mom, I cry. I can't help it. I just cry.
Arthur's Teacher Trouble (Arthur Adventure Series)Arthur's Teacher Trouble (Arthur Adventure Series) by Marc Brown
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.01
We loved Arthur. From going to the dentist to starting school, we were THERE, man. I think he's an aardvark. But he could be a small marsupial.
Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever (Giant Little Golden Book)Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever (Giant Little Golden Book) by Richard Scarry
Buy new: $10.87 / Used from: $2.43
Intricate pictures, a lot to learn and we must have twenty Richard Scarry books still. Each page is enough for a whole bedtime story.
Go, Dog. Go! (Beginner Books)Go, Dog. Go! (Beginner Books) by P.D. Eastman
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.01
My favorite is when they finally get to the top of the tree: A DOG PARTY!! Big dogs! Little dogs! Black dogs! White dogs! I studied that page for hours. My son could not get enough of it.
Goodnight MoonGoodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.01
The mouse is eating the oatmeal on the table. And the rabbit does not notice since he's busy saying good-night to everything. A very sleepy book, I just love it.
Just Me and My Puppy (A Little Critter Book)Just Me and My Puppy (A Little Critter Book) by Mercer Mayer
Buy new: $3.99 / Used from: $0.01
You cannot miss with Mercer Mayer's Little Critters. Books on everything from going to the dentist to going shopping with mom. I so love these books.
TuesdayTuesday by David Wiesner
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.96
Possibly the most beautiful book I have ever seen and with a message to match. I've bought five copies of this over the years to give to adults. Priceless.
Where the Wild Things areWhere the Wild Things are by Maurice Sendak
Buy used from: $5.00
Fantastic illustrations and Max wins in the end.
