Ive been reminiscing about some books that I read all the time as a kid and decided to find them on etsy or online. Just curious who else has books they hope to find! Mine are the disney learn to play books! Loveddd them!
Re: Old books from your childhood that your hope to find for your LO
Luckily the libeary has quite a collection of them so I won't have to try too hard to track them down.
Eta I spelled "library" wrong but it makes a nice pun so I'm leaving it that way.
I counted his collecting when I moved a year ago and he has >600 books. I *may* have lost my mind.
Some of his/my favorites are: the entire collection of Sandra Boynton, all of the Llama llama series, Eric Carl, goodnight goodnight construction site, if you give a mouse a cookie (and all of the spin offs), Pete the Cat series, the little blue truck, the Biscuit series, the wheels on the bus, that's not my "..." Series- he loved the bunny and snowman ones.
I also bought a ton of classics. I researched several list of top children's books, and books every kid should have, etc. It became a hobby of mine to collect. I have a box of books for each holiday. It's fun to pull them out and read them in anticipation of the holiday.
He knew his alphabet lower and uppercase and can recognize lots of words. I think that's because we read all of the time. I make it fun and let him pick them out and read as much as he wants. I've memorized countless books. He gets on kicks and we read the same book 5 or 6x in a row.
Sorry for the rant. I get excited about books. :-B
@ntyravgsp I tried to find a quality Berenstein Bears gif and instead stumbled across this article about the Berenstein Bears and alternate Universes... https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/berenstain-bears
Aside from that I loved the Boxcar Children and Nancy Drew.
I have an ongoing list of books I loved that I want to get for my children. One of them was Guess How Much I Love You. We gave it to ds in his Easter basket this year and I still can't make it through without tearing up.

Apparently this has been a huge debate.
They also made it into a tv show.
Eta spelling
Little Critter books too!
So many good ideas here!
I loved this book. I can still hear my mom's voice saying "but NOOOOOO elephants"!!!!
We're these books part of a series? I had a whole bunch have and loved them. Of course I can't remember all the titles. My mom threw some away years ago when she cleaned out the basement but I got to save my favourites. I need to go see them again!
ETA: I was really mad at her for throwing away books. I don't remember if I made her take them out and give them away.
