Book Recommendations

We read a LOT around here.  I have been featuring some of our favorites up on my sidebar, but I'm thinking of changing that.  From now on I will do an occasional post with links to some of our top recommends, and tell you what we thought of them. I'd love to hear about yours in return.

To start things off (and to see if I know how to put a link in a post) here is one of the all-time best--yes, yes, in my opinion--for toddlers:

I must have been reading this book on average at least ten times a year since my little brother was three.  He's a pretty old guy now, so that's a long time; but I am still not tired of it, and chances are, never will be.  The illustrations are adorable and I venture to say there is not a three-year-old or a three-year-old's auntie alive who would not be intrigued by the story.

The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry and the Big Hungry Bear (Child's Play Library)

Now, your turn. If you were to be stuck on a desert island for 24 hours with just a toddler and a book...which book would you want?
