Baby library?

Anyone started their baby library yet? Any books you had to have from your childhood? My mother-in-law brought down my husband's beloved mr. Man books this weekend. Here are mine.

    Dr. Seuss here so my mom has all my old books saved and will be giving them to baby, plus the many more he will receive at the baby shower.

    We did the same thing! Not from Costco, but we stocked up on the Golden Books that we loved. Also, Dr. Seuss.

    So far I've bought a ton of Golden Books and Dr. Seuss books. I put these on my registry to make the conservatives in my life squirm and because I genuinely want these in my child's library:

    My favorite is The Night You Were Born by Nancy Tillman.  It's fantastic.  I read it to my boys every night and we all still love it.  They each think it's about them :)  It's my favorite baby shower gift.

    I adore the Nancy Tillman books!  On The Night You Were Born is by far my favorite.  I've been reading it to DD since even before she was born, and then every night before bedtime for a couple of years.  We took about a year break from reading it and then lately she has been asking me to read her the "night before the moon" book (what she calls it), so we've started up again! I've shed many tears reading the Nancy Tillman books to her because they are just so dang sweet!

    Also, my mom gave me all of my Little Golden Books from when I was a kid (at least 100 lol).

    I just bought three books the other day at Target - two Frozen books and one princess storybook - I told DH I HAD to get them now because I was afraid they would go out of print.  He let me :)

    I am a book addict kids teens adults doesn't matter... I have bought baby a nursery rhyme book that my girls read to him at night. its helping my daughters reading (she struggles with short term memory so repetition is great) and I had read an article about babies in utero when they are read the same nursery rhyme or played the same song they recognize after born and it helps to sooth them even if its a strangers voice

    I'm a huge book nerd so we have most of the classics. I also love finding new titles; some great ones you might not know: Little Owl's Night, Little Bear's Little Boat, and I Love You Stinky Face.

    I loved a book called The Wuggie Norple Story growing up but haven't found it anywhere - it went out of print a while ago.

    My mom has a whole milk crate of all my books from when I was a kid. Most of them are golden books.

    My absolute favorite is one my grandmother had made for me. The characters are named after me & my cousin and the story is about going to the zoo.

    Animalia by Graeme Base and The Pete the Cat books are awesome! Also love "Dragons Love Tacos" and "Goldielocks and the Three Dinosaurs".

    DH had some books from when he was a kid. We bought few books new. But mostly we went to the used book store and bought a lot of books. They had a lot of Rugrats books, which was cool because it was my favorite as a kid. And we found Stella Luna which was DH's favorite book.

    We have so many books! We bought 99% of them from garage sales or goodwill. We have quite the variety of things from the classics to modern disney princesses!

    I'm glad we bought our books used because my kid is hard on her books! They definitely look used and abused now.

    DS has a big eccentric library most books bought second hand. I just bought a bunch at a ymca book fair where the kids books were sold by the inch (of how wide the spine was). I bought like 13 books for $3.50.

    Favorites of ours:
    Big Red barn
    good night good night construction site steam train dream train
    Puppies and piggies
    10 little ladybugs

    You can youtube it and listen (clicky) I loved reading this at a friend's shower...too funny!  We have some, but my friends are doing the "book in lieu of a card" at my shower, so we'll get lots more then as well as from my sister-in-law who has hundreds of books from her kids (she's a reading fanatic).  We have the bookshelves all made and up in the nursery, so I can't wait to fill them to the brim and cannot wait for him to enjoy his reading nook one day...or use the shelves as awesome drop tests for his cars and trains?? Ha!
