This is one of my fave pics EVER.
I'm sure this list is out there somewhere but here is my opinion on the
BEST FIRST BOOKS EVER. MY TOP 9.
Margaret Wise Browns Good Night Moon
The perfect bed time story. "Good Night, Stars.. Good Night Air.. Good Night Noises Everywhere.."
Eric Carls: Brown Bear, Brown Bear and The Very Hungry Caterpillar Super fun for learning animals and colors and what happens when a caterpillar eats too much. "Brown, Bear what do you see?"
The Little Pea. The Little Hoot. The Little Oink by Amy Krouse Rosenthal
Ah! Love these! Can you say a little reverse psychology? "When I go to bed, I'm going to let my kids go to bed as early as they want."
Gossie by Olivier Dunrea
Who doesnt love red galoshes? Gossie the gosling loses one of hers and finds them in a most peculiar place. "In the barn?"
The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats
Written in 1962, this one was the first book the munchkin read (memorized) herself. "After breakfast he put on his snow suit and ran outside." And so the adventure began...
"I love you all the way to the moon, and back."
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault
The title says it all. Grooving and clapping and learning the alphabet. Super fun way to learn the alphabet and groove to the
Sandra Boynton Books
So many to choose from - Opposites, Colors, Bedtime.. take your pick.
Richard Scarry's What Do People Do All Day
Mr. Scarry published over 300 books with the most famous about Busytown. Populated by animals. "Mr. Alfalfa (the goat) grows all kinds of food. He keeps some for his family."
Many of these are classics and have been around for 40 - 50 YEARS. These they will love for quite a while.
What books would you add to this list? What was your favorite book as a child? What is/was your kiddo's fave?

OMG! You've taken me back to when I was little and in grade school. I can't tell you how much I loved these stories. I was able to find The Snowy Day, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, The Hungry Caterpillar, Good Night Moon along with countless others that I remember from my childhood at the thrift stores in my area. It's good to be able to share these stories with them.
Yes! I can't wait to get into chapter books and Judy Blume!!
