My friend's son had his first child, a daughter, last October and I have yet to send a gift. I have decided that I want to start, or severely populate, her first library. I know there will be some Boynton books definitely included, but what other books would you all recommend for a first library? What are the classics? What are the hot new books? Any an all recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! 😊
Clwojick Oooo. 2y
Clwojick Okay, thee book tagging feature isn‘t working… but pretty much any book by Robert Munsch, especially Love You Forever, 50 Below Zero, and The Paperbag Princess. Here We Are by Oliver Jeffers. The Wonkey Donkey Books. The Bear series by Karma Wilson. And The Littlw Blue Truck books by Jill McElmurry 2y

Goodnight, VeggiesClwojick Not sure how many of these come in board book form, but nevertheless I‘d save them on your list of idea for future years to come. I have an ongoing list for my best friends 3 little ones. They get a couple books added to all their gifts. 💖 2y
DrexEdit @monalyisha thanks very much! 👍 2y
Clwojick And maybe it‘s random to have a favourite Halloween childrens book, but this is it! ❤️Christopher Pumpkin 2y
Christopher PumpkinDrexEdit @Clwojick that's a great idea! I feel a new Goodreads list coming on! 😉 2y
Clwojick I spent an afternoon at the library, reading through all the childrens section to make a list of favourites for Greyson. Now I‘m using the same list for his little twin siblings. ❤️ 2y

Day of the Dead: A Count and Find PrimerBethM I like the Jane Yolen how do/why do dinosaurs series 2y
Aimeesue No suggestions, because that was a loooong time ago, and I can't remember any faves besides the Boyntons and, Where the Sidewalk Ends, Pooh, but I can still recite Hey! Wake up! and Hippos Go Berzerk by heart. And every once in a while, to my children's horror, I do. ❤️ 2y
Clare-Dragonfly Boynton books are always a great choice! I also recommend Margaret Wise Brown—Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny—as well asChicka Chicka Boom Boom 2y

DrexEdit @Aimeesue All classics! Thanks for these ideas. Too bad Litsy does not have video capability. I would certainly love to see you recite Boynton! 😊 👍 2y
