In honor of a regular reader who's expecting, I would like to present a short post about the books that are most popular with my almost 8 month old son.
1) Bear Snores On, Karma Wilson. For some reason, he's always loved this book. Mike and I do it with different voices, and he loves both versions.
2) Where the Wild Things Are, Maurice Sendak. I don't quite know what he loves about this one, but I think it's the pictures.
3) Jamberry, Bruce Degen. Mike reads this one with a deep bear voice, which I've taken up because I think it's why it's so popular. I love the pictures in this one, which makes it something I can read again and again.
These are the top three. He also loves any board book, but mostly to play with, rather than read. I'm a big fan of Sandra Boynton, and we have some of Dr. Seuss's more picture-heavy, word-light books in board form. So when you're shopping, now you have some tips.
And hooray for all you parents and parents-to-be!

He particularly loves Snuggle Puppy by Sandra Boynton, too.
Oh! How sweet!! (I'm going to be self-centered and assume it's me)
I, myself, adore Snuggle Puppy & Where The Wild Things Are and I'll be sure to add those others to the rotation when the time comes....
