Those are all great books — I wanted to be Laura Ingalls when I was little.
One of my favorites as a child was Charlotte’s Web!
Charlotte’s Web – what a great book, and a clever spider.
Baby Island by Carol Ryrie Brink; anything Eric Carle ( The Very Hungary Caterpillar.)
The Very Hungry Caterpillar was a big hit with toddlers in my home! Fun to try art projects in Eric Carle’s style, too.
My favorite was Winnie the Pooh 🙂
I loved reading the stories of Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Woods!
We love Sandra Boynton books, like the Hippos Go Beserk
We loved Sandra Boynton books here, too. Have you read Blue Hat, Green Hat? Or, But Not the Hippopotamus? Those are good ones, too.
I will let my one year old daughter pick her favorite: Good Night, Gorilla! What is it about this book that makes her want to read it over and over and over and over and….
Good Night, Gorilla – we read that one over and over, too. Maybe it’s looking closely at the pictures and noticing the little gorilla taking the keys, and all the other little details?
I found the book “OH NO!” through the Kid Lit Blog Hop. My 4-year-old grandson adores that book. We read it before nap. He has the whole book memorized!
I haven’t read “OH NO!” — I’ll look around for it – sounds like a good book for a 4 year old.
My daughter and I are loving “Giant Dance Party”; my son and I are reading the Wizard of Oz graphic novel adaptation by Eric Shanower and “HP and the Prisoner of Azkaban”, and I’m in love with Hilary McKay’s Casson Family series.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is one of my favorite HP books – I love the idea of animagi or (animagus) (wizards who can turn into an animal and back again with magic), the time turner, and many other things about the story.
Winnie the Witch is one of my favourite books, she has so many wonderfully wacky adventures (with the long suffering Wilbur!) 🙂

It’s really too hard to pick just one, but I’ve always had a soft spot for Ferdinand the Bull.

Miss Rumphius, definitely!

Not feeling very accomplished on making the linky bit work, but I’m mentioning A Formal Feeling, by Zibby Oneal. More of a teen read, but still well worth it. (But on the picture book front, it’s In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak.)
