We are transitioning from board books to longer books with actual stories. I thought it would be helpful if we shared some of our DCs' favorites. Then the rest of us can check them out at the library or bookstore.

Green Eggs and Ham (I don't know if you'd really consider this to be a story, though)
Katy NoPocket (my mouth is always dry when I finish this one!)
Any Curious George book, especially CG's Dream and CG and the Chocolate Shop.
