Favorite Books
What are your top 5 (or however many) children's books? I'm thinking picture books for toddler/preschool age. I purchased several books recently and the children LOVE them, so I'd like to pick up some more popular ones. What do you and your children like? :)
ETA: Also, do you always buy hardcover books? If you buy softcover, do you put contact paper over the covers and does that really help? |
Here are some of my DCK's favorites (the ones that they pick and I find myself reading over and over again):
Happy Birthday Moon If you give a mouse a cookie/If you give a moose a muffin No David/David Goes to School/other David series (the boys love these lol) Any of the Dr. Seuss books |

It is a great way to buy inexpensive books. All the noteworthy authors can be found there too! |
