How the Grinch Stole Christmas - A gift to the boys at Christmas and we've read it at least once a day since then. I make the Grinch voice grumpy and JK thinks that's so fascinating. EK always gets a little scared. LOL!

Goodnight Moon is almost every night. They love pointing out the mouse. Brown Bear Brown Bear is a popular one.
Chrysanthemum - That's at least three times a week.

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day - JK loves this one and quotes it often when he's not having a good day. Maybe that's not a good recommendation???

My Little Word Book - Both boys pore over this all the time and it's great for little ones learning to identify words. HIGHLY recommend this one.

Oh there are so many more...my kids LOVE books, so we have TONS!
: ) lisa
We love 'How many Kisses'
Oh "Go Dog, Go" was my now 14 year old son's favorite book for YEARS! To this day some friends of ours who have no kids of their own still quote the book to my boy when they see him. We had to buy that book multiple times due to it being destroyed or left behind on a vacation. It will be the first thing I buy for my grandchild if my son decides to have a family one day!
"We're Going On A Bear Hunt" by Michael Rosen/Helen Oxenbury. Casey & I STILL have it memorized and he's 19!

I must have read this book a million times when I was little. I always LOVED how they were in the store AFTER it was closed! (kind of a pre-'Toy Story' theme).
