My cousin recently called to ask for some book recommendations for a friend's new baby. As someone with former aspirations to be a children's librarian, I realized I had a lot to say on this subject. Here is a list, in no particular order, of some of my favorite books:
- Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney
- When Sheep Cannot Sleep: The Counting Book by Satoshi Kitamura
- The Frog and Toad Collection by Arnold Lobel
- Owl at Home by Arnold Lobel
- Vera the Mouse Books by Marjolein Bastin (these may be out of print)
- Bedtime for Frances by Russell Hoban
- The Secret Staircase by Jill Barklem
- Hippos Go Berserk! by Sandra Boynton
- George and Martha: The Complete Story of Two Best Friends by James Marshall
- Professor Wormbog in Search of the Zipperump-A-Zoo by Mercer Mayer
- Tikki Tikki Tembo by Arlene Mosel
- Alexander and Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst
- Ollie the Stomper by Olivier Dunrae
