Baby Library Poll2

Last Sunday we asked for your help. 
We are both having baby boys very soon (Ricki in December, Kellee in February) and are looking to make sure they have the best books available. To make sure we didn’t miss anything, we asked you all to share with us the MUST HAVE classic and contemporary picture books we need for them. 
Today we are so excited to share the results

  1. No matter how many books you have around the house, your child is sure to fixate on a book that you dislike. All three of my children were ridiculously enamored of the Baby Blue Cat books as well as Dragon in a Wagon, to the point where (pre internet!) I had to buy out of print copies so we could return the library ones. They weren’t bad books, but the 400th reading of Baby Blue Cat and the Smiley Worm Doll was hard! Congratulations to you both!

    • I know this because I was obsessed with Ten Apples on Top. We had so many books in the house, but that was the only one I wanted to read. We’ll just have to hope that ours fall in love with a series so we have at least a bit of a variety…

  2. This list made me so nostalgic! I think Chicka Chicka Boom Boom was probably my favourite picture book of all time (closely followed by Guess How Much I Love You). But I absolutely loved all the books I’ve read on this list!
