Our favorite books

We've amassed quite a collection of children's books over the past two years, and I'm always amazed at the books Olivia wants to read over and over. There's no common theme; she likes books with kids, animals, trucks, fairies, and any combination thereof. Some classics such as "Goodnight Moon" haven taken a while for her to warm up to, while others, especially ones with photographs of kids or objects she can name are instant hits. Although, if a book has a particularly delicious paper binding, that tends to be her favorite...

Here are Olivia's top 10 toddler book picks:

1. "Wow! Babies" by Penny Gentieu

2. "It's Spring!" by Samantha Berger

3. "Goodnight Moon" by Margaret Wise Brown

4. "Busy Fingers" by CW Bowie

5. "All By Myself" by Mercer Mayer

6. "Alice the Fairy" by David Shannon

7. "I think that it is wonderful!" by David Corr

8. "A Snowy Day" by Ezra Jack Keats

9. "Paddington Bear All Day" by Michael Bond

10. "Goodnight Gorilla" by Peggy Rathmann



As for me, I'm in love with the book, "Bear Feels Scared" by Karma Wilson.

It's just about the cutest thing ever.
