DD (19 months) LOVES teddy bears, and when we read stories before her nap and bedtime, she always wants to read those. One of her favorites is "You are my I love you." She & I also love books with great illustrations, and she loves seeing animals in books (not cartoonish, but realistic-looking animals, painted or done with colored pencil or something similar). We also like rhyming books.
I'm looking for more books to add to our repertoire- we have about 10 in rotation, but since we've been reading them for quite a while, I'd like to add more in.
Do you have any recommendations for some great books along these lines?
Thanks!

What about Corduroy?
As for other books with animals...Zen Shorts, You're All My Favorites, Brown Bear...not sure if the art meets your criteria but I always liked how they looked.

Well, Corduroy is one of my all-time faves.
How about a book of Teddy Bear's Picnic? We have one that came with a recording of the song sung by Jerry Garcia.
That's all I got off the top of my head - HTH!marie

i picked up a cute book off our library "sale" rack (books that are being weeded out of the collection are offered for sale) it's "one ted fell out of bed" -- it's about a little boys teddy bear that falls out of the bed and the adventure he has before the little boy picks him back up. it's a counting book too--but i think the story is really cute
we also like cordoroy around here

When she is a little older Jane Hissey's Old Bear series would be good.
