I always loved reading Rosemary Well's Max & Ruby board books. Max's impish ways reminded me of my sons so much.

I will never forget reading and rereading Richard Scarry's book of Cars, my sons loved looking at all the pictures and we would spend hours going over and over the same page, looking for Mr. Goldbug and the pickle car, and the army jeeps.

This summer I worked with 3 & 4 year olds and they loved Simms Taback "I know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" and Ed Emberley's "Big Green Monster". The cutouts were really appealing to them and the repetiveness, yet ingenuity, of the story made them new each time the children heard them. It is so satisfying to see how they listened to the story. Another favorite was Helen Oxenbury's "Going on a Bear Hunt", I loved the little girl who got so upset when I changed even one little word in the story from the way her father read it.
