Our Favorite Children's Books

Just a cute picture of Raleigh last Sunday, getting ready for Trenton! The bear is usually wearing a diaper, lol!
I love the stories in this book, they are so cute and funny! And there are plenty to choose from! They are more classic stories, and the illustrations are amazing. One page in the story "In the Light of the Moon" makes me want to cry it is so beautiful. Yes, I love children's books!
I could read this book to Raleigh a million times and never get sick of it, and not just because the Caboose's name is Katy, haha. I'll probably have it all memorized someday. I am going to have to get more Bill Peet books, he is awesome!
We just got this one from Amazon, and I love it. We have a book of Mother Goose rhymes but those are weird. There are 200 or so in here, and so far Raleigh loves them all. The illustrations are by the same guy who draws Arthur, very creative!
I love Dr. Suess, but some of his books get really old really quickly to me. Not these though, there are three in here and I love them all. Not to mention I love the simplicity of the illustrations. Only white, green, and blue throughout the whole book. That's talent!

Do you have any favorite Children's books??
Share in the comments please, we would love suggestions!
