We're always looking to add to our collection! I mostly try to pick books I don't mind reading so the intended audience is sometimes a little older than DD but she still seems interested enough when I read no matter what it is. We have lots of Little Golden Books but I find most of them too long, she tends to drop out ½ to ¾ of the way through.

What are you reading to LO these days?

    Golden books and any other actual paper books are hands off dd right now. Even if we read them she finds a way to rip them. 
    DD likes to pull the covers off our new books so I've started laying her down in her crib before nap time to read my favorites to her. DD has only ripped two books, neither of which I cared much about but I have an old Mother Goose book from the year I was born and I keep it on top of the bookshelf in her playroom so she can't get to it, I'd be pretty upset if she ripped it up.

    DS loves;

    Corduroy
    Golden books
    Mike Muligan and his Steam Shovel
    Dr Sues books
    Curious Goerge books

    He doesn't seem to rip the paper books anymore, so he actually has them on a bookshelf in his room and picks them out by himself.

    DS loves Steam Train Dream Train, the Little Critter books, and any lift-the-flap books. Of course, this changes daily, as one day a book will be his favorite and the next day he will scream NO! when we try to read the same book. Sigh...

    We have hundreds of books, literally.  Probably 50+ Little Golden Books saved from my childhood along with easily a hundred others (my parents were child book hoarders and it has been such a great thing!).  Oodles from gifts, garage sales, Goodwill.

    DD LOVES reading, as do I so we are constantly adding/sorting the collection.

    Favorites right now - LBG (always), Bearenstein (sp?) Bears, Fancy Nancy, Mr. McGee, Dr. Seuss, anything with a princess, train, or junk food (cake, cookies, etc.)

    DD goes they phases where she only wants to read the same 3 or 4 books. Right now it is a time for bed Elmo book, a big and small Sesame Street book, and always a hit are the flap books (specifically the Where is Baby's...) we have a ton of those.

    Recently she has more mature tastes...Elephant and Piggie books by Mo Willams are probably her favorite.  Also, anything about Fred and Ted.

    DD also loves flap and pull books. She got a Matthew Van Fleet book from BIL and SIL for Christmas that has textures, flaps and pull tabs. I highly reccommend his books. She also likes Charlie the Ranch dog and she got a book called Hot Dog Cold Dog that she really enjoys.

    Our favorites are
    Starlight Sailor
    Harold and the Purple Crayon
    Personal Penguin
    And a few random picture books she loves. It's adorable to see her pointing and saying so many different words.
