I’m currently in the midst of building my daughter’s library. I’ve only picked up a book or two, and the rest have been gifts from friends.

I asked some mom friends on Facebook, checked out a couple of “must-read” lists, and this is what I’ve liked so far. (Being a writer, I’m more influenced by the words than the the visuals.)

Lost And Found - Board Book by Oliver Jeffers. A little boy helps a penguin find his way home.

Tuck Me In!by Dean Hacohen. Okay, this one was just too cute with the little paper blankets to “tuck in” the various animals.

Time for Bed by Mem Fox. Another story about little animals that need to go to bed.

Goodnight Moon An Ed 60th Bb by Margaret Wise Brown. A classic story that still works. I love the cadence of the words.

Are there any other great children’s books you love?
