So, which ones have you read?
Except the 3 Little Pigs, we've read the highlighted books above many many many times, and C has memorized most of the lines! She goes around talking about climbing Corduroy's mountain, saying "we'll eat you up, we love you so" (like the wild things), and when we're baking she'll yell "milk, milk, milk for the morning cake!" (In the Night Kitchen was a gift for her first birthday and her first favourite book - we read it all the time, and still quite often!). C also often quotes Madeline (appropriately - her middle name).Oh, by the way, June 10th is Maurice Sendak's Birthday, so plan some fun activities!
I've put The Snowy Day, Caps For Sale and Peter Rabbit in C's gift box, and she'll get them soon. Some of the others are on a wish list. There are a few on that list I've never heard of, though!
How many have you read with your children, and what are your favourites?

I posted our list too. I love things like this. We plan on going to the library today to find some of the books we haven't read yet.
Hi there! It's so nice to find yoru blog! It's really nice! I lvoe the title!!! ~Very creative!!
I love that you wrote about the books at the end of the list. Nice personal touch!
I didnt care for #14.
That's great that you have special books as gift sets to give to her. I always give my children (special) books as gifts too.
Thanks for particpating!
this is fun to see who's read what!
It's also a good way to know what to read during the summer :)
What's a gift box?
I've hardly heard of any of this, great to be armed with a list when I go into the library!
An excellent list! We've read them all except 21 and 22. I'd better get to the library!
Oh, I guess I should have explained! C's gift box isn't anything fancy, it's just a big Rubbermaid container I have hidden away. I pick up things for her all the time, and then stash them away to give to her on special occasions or rainy days. I have a ton of books in the box right now!
I love seeing everyone else's lists! :)
