I've been doing some baby and parent classes, and one of the very favorite books that even the youngest enjoy is a board book , "Peek a Who" by Nina Laden. It has very simple text and bright, bold illustrations; the babies enjoy the familiar game of Peek a Boo, and the very last page has a mirror
(Peek-a- YOU). I only wish it were larger --it is hard for all to see a small board book with 25 Moms and babies in the room!
For toddlers, "Jamberry" by Bruce Degen, "I Went Walking" by Mem Fox, and
"How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight" by Jane Yolen are always a hit...I keep those on my storytime shelf, along with several of the already-mentioned Toddler Classics.
