We have a ton already but we've read them to death and I'm looking to add a few new ones for Eleanor. We have almost every Sandra Boynton book already, lots of Dr Seuss, Dear Zoo, and all the Curious George board books. Any other ideas?
TIA!
eta: bonus points if it's a lift-the-flap or touch-and-feel book!

Karen Katz books have the flaps and Katie LOVES them. We are still reading Where is Baby's Pumpkin and Halloween was a month ago.

"That's not my _____" books. They are touch & feel and have a book for almost everything (monkey, fairy, puppy).

The Brown Bear book series (Polar Bear, Panda Bear) was popular for us. Now they may a slide & find version too (didn't have that when C was a baby)

The peekaboo series of books by DK Publishing were/ are my kids' most fav, i.e. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0756634865/ref=oh_o03_s00_i00_details
(there are several if you look under "customers who bought this item also bought. . .")
1. Super thick cardboard so more difficult to tear than most
2. Lift the flap
2. AND touch and feel!
3. And uses "real" pictures of babies.
Other hits are the "That's not my. . . " books mentioned above.
Three of Alana's faves right now:
Daddy Hugs
Mommy Hugs
Where is Baby's Belly Button
Not a newbie, but, had to create a new account - formerly LBR_NJ
My Blog - "Helping Make Sense"
I like the "That's not my..." books also.
In addition, Where's Spot is a favorite, The Very Hungry Caterpillar (I'm guessing you have that, though), Dr. Seuss (The Foot Book, Are You My Mother).
Will also has these Teddy Bear Sing Along musical board books and he loves the activity of pushing the button (we have Row Row Row Your Boat, The Wheels on the Bus and Old MacDonald Had a Farm):

Oh, and the Roger Priddy word books are a lot of fun for him now.
Our fave books are the Bear books by Karma Wilson (Bear Snores On, Bear Wants More, etc).
We also love the Llama Llama books and any from the Skippyjon Jones series.
Other faves are: Little Blue Truck, Weiner Wolf and Stellaluna
OMG, Henry LOVES Skippyjon Jones. Oocho Mucho Poochos!
There are some GREAT ideas here and I now have about $100 worth of books in my Amazon shopping cart!
Keep them coming, though...what I don't order for Christmas I will "save for later."
THANKS!!

There are some Fisher Price larger board books that I often find at Sam's or Costco (I've seen at Target, but more expensive) that DDs really like. Many of them are lift the flaps. Here is an example.
Carl books are a lot of fun too (here's one). Can't remember if it's applicable to you, but DDs were given a Baby Bible that they have really loved.
