My little guy loves the Scaredy Squirrel series by Melanie Watt and Day Out With Daddy by Stephen Cook!
Good choices! We also love Tumble Bumble!!!
We started on silly song books when my first was 2. Take Me Out of the Bathtub by Alan Katz illustrated by David Katrow (who incidentally illustrated Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon) is a fun book to sing along with your toddler too. Take me Out of the Bathtub is sung to the tune of Take Me Out to the Ballgame and describes a little guy who has spent hours in the tub which makes for fun songs during bath time.
Our little men are also really into Olivia right now. Especially Olivia and the Missing Toy – a good read for rainy days.
What a great list! I think I’ll have to pick some of those up for my 2-year-old. A couple of our favorites are “Piggy in the Puddle” and “Imogene’s Antlers”.
Are You My Mother is one of the girl’s favorites.
I LOVE every single Sandra Boynton book. She is awesome. I found some new ones too- Rachael Hale. “Baby Giggles” and “Baby Colors”. They are awesome! She’s a photographer, so the pictures are awesome.
We love Brown Bear Brown Bear it is my little ones favorite book! She is also really into Miss. Bindergartens Kindergarten it is a super cute book she loves the illustrations.
Miss Spider books, Franklin books, and the book Dear Zoo are great ones, too.
My granddaughter’s current favorites are Green Eggs and Ham, Olivia , Little Bear and anything by Richard Scarry.
