Hey! I inspired a blog post!! This really is such a wonderful list- you obviously read to your kids a lot more than I do :) Some of our favorites that weren't on your list are: Popcorn by Frank Asch, Owen by Kevin Henkes (of course), Press Here by Herve Tullet (my kids think they are magicians when we read this book), and one of my favorites that I haven't read to the boys yet is Everyone Knows What a Dragon Looks Like by Jay Williams. Can't wait to start reading some of the books on your list that we haven't tried yet!
