not this cute anymore!Picking a favorite book would be harder than picking a favorite child. But I can tell you some of our favorites today. I have ALL boys and these books are some they want read over and over and over..
At the top of the list would be ANYTHING by Shel Silverstein or Eric Carle.
Go Away, Big Green Monster! by Ed Emberley. It's not as scary as it sounds.. and it's great for early readers, both boys and girls. The number of times I've read this to my kids is in the thousands. I love silly, quick reads... especially when bedtime is later than you planned!
The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig by Eugene Trivizas. A familiar story with a major twist. I wish I would have come up with this plot. so clever!
How Do Dinsaurs Say Goodnight (and the entire series) by Jane Yolen. These are entertaining AND teach manners at the same time. Your dinosaur lovers will eat up this series.
The Gas we Pass! The Story of Farts by Shinta Cho. This is a science book... and my boys LOVE it. But what boys don't love a good Fart story?
I think I'll stop now.. Honestly, I could do one of these entries every single week. And maybe I will. But it's your turn now. Write up a quick post about the book/s you love most and maybe a sentence or two about why you love them. Post your link back here and refer your readers (http://www.fairlyhappy.com/2010/09/favorite-childrens-books.html) who might want to share!
**if you don't want to write it on your blog, leave a comment with the name of your favorite children's book. (Although having it on your own blog is best because your kids and grandkids and the long list of posterity who will eventually read your blog will want to know!) But feel free to comment anonymously...
Happy Reading!
PS. I linked Amazon for most of my books, but I never BUY them unless I know we'll get our money's worth. The online LIBRARY system is the best!

I couldn't resist listing some of our favorite books!
It's a bit like opening Pandora's Box when asking me my favorite children's books. I can relate when you say it's harder than picking a favorite child! Fun topic. Thanks!
One of my favorite fall ones is Runaway Pumpkin. I love the alliteration.
I also like Mrs. Wishy Washy's Farm.
But these are also for smaller ears. Your older ones might not be so into them.
I didn't think I could narrow a book list down for a link, but then we came across a book that I just got too excited about not to link. Rumpelstiltskin's Daughter.... started a few discussions around here!
