I don't have children but I teach in Early Childhood... These are some books that my kids LOVE!
Lot's of the Eric Carle's - Brown Bear Brown Bear, Hungry Catepillar, Angry Ladybug (These are great because they can learn to memorize them and "read" them to you)
Books Written by Jamie Lee Curtis (The illustrations are very engaging and really good story lines)
Good Night Moon
If she like's Dora- there are some really good Dora books out there. They've got really good repition
Have you filled a bucket today
Love you Forever
Oh, David
The Fancy Nancy Series
If she likes silly rhymes look for books called "Llama Llama...." There are a bunch of them and they are so silly.
Thanks! I found the bucket one last night - I like the adult version so I was excited to find a kid's version. I'll look up some of these she isn't familiar with.
She has memorized the Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, all the Madeline books, Pinkalicious and Purplicious, Splat Cat, and several others. She "reads" them to her class now so I'm looking for more to feed her appetite!

Replace The Sneetches (which was one of my faves growing up, as was Alexander...) with Horton Hears a Who, and I think we have the same child.
Also, Theres a Monster at the End of This Book is a huge fave right now.
Olivia, especially Olivia Forms a Band
The Hello, Goodbye Window
Sylvester and The Magic Pebble
In The Night Kitchen
Where The Wild Things Are
Anything Shel Silverstein. Poetry: Where The Sidewalk Ends, The Missing Piece. Stories: A Giraffe and a Half, The Giving Tree
Sorry, hadn't been over here in the past couple days.
Reposting from the other side, since I don't see any of these mentioned above:
* "Not A Box" by Antoinette Portis
* Any book by Saxton Freymann ("How Are You Peeling", "Dog Food", "Fast Food")
* Any "Skippy Jon Jones" book by Judy Schachner
* "Duck on a Bike", "Alice the Fairy" or any other David Shannon book
* "The Napping House" by Audrey and Don Wood
* "Dog Breath" or any book by Dav Pilkey
* "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" Bill Martin Jr. & John Archambault (we have the CD that goes along with this and K LOVES it, too)
* and classics like the Little Critter series (by Mercer Mayer) and The Berenstain Bears series (by Jan & Mike Berenstain).
Just to name a few.....
Oh yes. THese are big in our house right now, too. I LOVE Not A Box.
Thanks! I had most of those on the list - glad to know we're in the right direction. We already had Where the Sidewalk Ends and The Missing Piece - I love his work. I have an, um, adult Shel Silverstein book too.
