Particularly for the new parent, Sandra Boynton's books about quirky, fun-loving animals are cleverly written and illustrated, and provide amusement to both parent and child!
Although as a parent, I often find these wordy, and strangely celebrating the mischievous/hit-and-run crimes of Curious George, our kids adore these fun classics by Margaret & H.A. Rey...
Documenting the trials and tribulations of the typical toddler, the 'Little Critter' series by Mercer Mayer is a HUGE favorite of both children and adults in our house!
Although I initially did not see what the fuss was all about, I have enjoyed these two classics by Margaret Wise Brown...the new, sleep-deprived parent is almost as mesmerized as child, by the poetic, rhythmic verse...
This series by Laura Numeroff creatively illustrates a typical 'ADD-ish' day with toddler, constantly moving from one project/distraction to the next...and once again, artwork is amazing!
Such a quaint and adorable classic series by Ludwig Bemelmans about the European adventures of a little girl named Madeline...
A good solid series about family values, lessons, and virtues by P.K. Hallinan...
Another classic series about life lessons by Stan & Jan Bernstain about a cute little bear family living in a tree house in the woods!
A few other favorites by other genius authors...
