    I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE the Olivia book. SOO adorable.

    And, can I just say that I despise Goodnight Moon. I seriously don't understand why this book is hyped so much???

    Hmm. I can see that...I'm kinda indifferent towards that one...don't think it's terrible, don't think it's amazing.

    Oh MAN, that brings back memories. I gotta find this somehow. Not sure if I still have it. GREAT book.

    So glad I started this thread. That mention alone was worth it. Never would have thought of that book in a million years.

    Do I look Latina to you?? ;) j/k

    No, but I live in New Mexico where there's a lot of Spanish-speaking going on. A first-generation Chicana friend of mine is about to have her first child and I want to buy him (the baby) books in Spanish as well as English.

    The Lorax by Dr. Suess.....everyone should read this one.
    All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.

    I love(d) "The Empty Pot". Basic idea the emperor tells all the kids to grow a flower and come back in a year w/the result.

    Beautiful art and a great story.

    My favorite was easily Frog and Toad are Friends. My twin was a couple inches taller than me when we were in elementary school, and it just reminded me of us . . . even though I couldn't read, it seemed to fit. :)

    Did anyone mention Alice In Wonderland? I LOVE that book! I was just telling the hubby the other day I want to get a copy to read to the kids.

    I also used to love a book when I was little called Mother Mother I Feel Sick, no idea who wrote it tho, I'd love to find a copy of it for my kids.

    I also love Corduroy, glad to see it was mentioned :mrgreen:
