Favorite children's books
I want to work on DD's book collection for Christmas. What are some of the favorite/classic kid books that you or your kids love? I already have The Hungry Caterpillar, Good Night Moon, The Velveteen Rabbit and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.

i have green eggs and ham, one fish two fish, and a few others. she has SO many board books and simple books. I want to start on her library.
I saw Amelia Bedelia the other day and was thisclose to buying it. She still has a few years before she reads that, though.
Aesops fables
Alexander and the terrible horrible no good for nothing very bad day
City dog country dog
Not classics, but definitely favorites:
Olivia
Pinkalicious
Madeline (any of them, but mostly the first one and the one about the dog rescue)
Mirette on the High Wire (no idea why she likes this one, it's wordy and not great for night-reading unless we have lots of time)
Dr. Seuss anything
Llama Llama Red Pajama
S has a few of the Amelia Bedelia books, and she really likes them. I don't think it's too early for those. She also loves the Arthur books.
I haven't looked deeply into this list yet......
