children's books

[goodasgold]

I'm looking for something different to read to my 2 1/2 year old daughter. I'm quite tired of the Dora books and so on. Right now, her favourite book seems to be Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Do you have a favourite book that you and your kid seem to enjoy? I'm trying to stay away from the "cartoon related" themes.

Robert Munsch is an great kids author and fun too read for mom too. My son loved them when he little

The best thing to do is take her to a book store (or library)... look at the books in the kids section, they usually have an age or reading level on the back. Find books that she wants. I still take my daughter to the book store to look for ones she wants... she loves to read and I think that has to do with her getting the choice.


One of my favorite books has always been More Spaghetti, I Say! It is awesome!

Silly Sally, Brown Bear Brown Bear, Chicken Little, Kissing Hand, Miss Spider series. Those are some of the favorites my preschool classroom likes

the eric carle books - the very hungry catepillar, brown bear, etc. robert munsch - all of his books! the dr. suess (sp?) books are also all very good. my mom was a teacher for 30+ years with the young kids and she says that those are the best ones. the ones that repeat that have a rythmn and are simple.

i think the library has a good selection and even a place to read there thats nice and cozy. you could check out a bunch of them there and see what you both like.

We both loved them and of course Robert Munsch.. I have autographed ones from Robert and will never let those go.. I miss the days when my son was little so much

my daughter used to love the walter the dog series of books. we have dr.suess books and one set that has a book for every letter of the alphabet but my boys aren't too into books. they usually just want to rip them up. lol

yes... golden books.... both my children and I grew up with them... they are the perfect books to get a child!!!

All my 2 year olds book says 5+.

If most of their development starts within the first 3 years, might as well move it along LOL.

My daughter has a bunch of these colour, number and shape books. Shes 2 and can count to 14, knows all her shapes and colours.

So they do help [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

I agree ....my kids were never interested in books,toys or tv shows recommended for their age.

You can order from chapters indigo too. I love coles!! You can check out the bestsellers and get an idea of what other parents are reading to their children of the same age.
