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?

I don't see my reply from yesterday, but my internet was really acting up.
My favorites include:
A Child's Garden of Verse
Some of the OLD Golden Books - hard to find, but worth their weight in gold!
Dr Seuss
I LOVE the new "Field Guide for Young Naturalists" field guide by Peterson!
Bible story books that tell the story the way the Bible does but in simpler terms.
