Favorite children's books

[Guest buddhagirl]

I love when Daddy tells me stories when we're curled up in bed, but sometimes he's too tired to think of one. So, reading me a book is the next, best thing!

 

Do you have any favorite books you like, or that you little likes you to read to them? I need some new books so I would really appreciate any suggestions. Here's the list of books in my collection...

 

Guess How Much I Love You

I Love My Daddy

Eloise

On Our Way Home

Owl Moon

Knuffle Bunny

Uni the Unicorn

Claire and the Unicorn Happily Ever After

 

Thank you!

[Guest Princess Dusty]

I personally like Good Night Moon, Where the Wild Things are, Green Eggs and Ham (left over from making my Grandpa read it a million times haha), um.... anything disney related. 

[Guest Amaeratera]

My favorite is "Love you Forever." It's so sweet. I think littles with Mommies would like that one.

[Guest ~Spooky_Ghoul~]

My absolute favorite is Batwings and the Curtain of Night, it's a beautiful story my mother used to read to me about Mother Nature .The story of Ferdinand, Stellaluna and The stinky Cheeseman are all great ones too! :3

[ThePlusSizedBarbie]

Corduroy

[creepycutie805]

"East of the sun, west of the moon", a Norwegian fairytale, is one of my favorite stories.

I like fairytales, most stories by Hans Christian Andersen or Grimm brothers.

 

This a book I've had since I was a kid.

[Guest buddhagirl]

Oh my gosh, everybody, thank you so much! I'm travelling for this week (staff and board meetings) and have to be a grown AND away from Daddy for 6 days--I'm really missing him. You guys gave me great ideas and I ordered some books and now I'm really excited to get home and hear my new bedtime stories. 

 

THANK YOU!

[Guest Wholockprincess23]

When I was a kid my mom always read the Golden Books to me. Surprisingly Golden Books are still very much a thing and have come out with TONS more stories. Many of them are Disney related, too, which makes me super happy. So I read A LOT of those.

 

Of course, there are always other classics that I read as well. Such as Corduroy, Where the Wild Things Are, anything Seuss, Harold and the Purple Crayon, etc...

[Guest Stray_Kitten]

I love any Shel Silverstein, Corduroy, where the wild things are, and any doctor seuss books

[justinemt]

As a dad, I'm always looking for great bedtime stories that will entertain my kids and teach them valuable life lessons. Biscuit's Amazing Treasure Hunt has quickly become a favorite in our household. https://a.co/d/fHLFKpD

[Kitten415]

My favorite children's books are Elmer and Chrysanthemum

[Curious Leo]

I love Amelia Badelia books and Shel Silverstein books, and where the wild things are, and curious George and any doctor seuss books, chicken soup with rice :a book of months book and a few dozen others that veer off into young adult and teen sci-fi&fantasy, 

but I also really enjoy archie & judgead comics, peanut comics, Garfield comics, Calvin & Hobbs, and all marvel and also all DC comics,  (Hopefully it’s ok to mention those as well) 

[Liamo]

The little prince. This is always a winner.

Omg thank you so much for mentioning these books I almost forgot about them since it’s been almost 30 years since I read any of them, but I really loved “there once was an old lady who swallowed a fly I don’t know why she swallowed a fly” 

did you also ever read hats for sale about a tall man who put hats ontop of each other one by one making him seems super duper tall and he went around d selling hats that way ( I used to read that as a toddler also i think it was similar to the old lady who swallowed a fly book an Dr Seuss since they rhymed an it was a fun read but that’s just my opinion on my memories not any facts) then there was a lot little lulu books an comics they didn’t ryhme but they were great books I only just remembered them after being reminded of the books you mentioned. Wow what a flash back
