1. My Very First Mother Goose My Very First Mother Goose
from Candlewick
Price: $14.95

Customer Review:
Of the larger books I read to my daughter (now 7 months), I grab this one most often. Each rhyme has such unique illustrations that I spend extra time on each page pointing out the images to my daughter. Many of the characters are adorable. The book is long enough that we get through only a fraction... more info

2. Bunny Cakes (Max and Ruby) Bunny Cakes (Max and Ruby)
from Puffin
Price: $5.99

Customer Review:
As a parent, this may very well be my favorite bedtime story. Don't judge the book based on the TV show-- it is much better! Max and Ruby are making birthday cakes for Grandma. Max is making an earthworm cake but Ruby wants to make an angel surprise cake with rasbery fluff frosting. Despite Ruby's... more info

3. Goodnight Max (Max and Ruby) Goodnight Max (Max and Ruby)
from Viking Juvenile
Price: $9.59

Customer Review:
My 2-year-old son, Max, LOVES this book. He insists we read it every night, immediately followed by _Max's Toys_. The touch-and-feel areas are very small, although it doesn't seem to bother him. He just loves to open and close the window.

4. Here Comes Mother Goose (My Very First Mother Goose) Here Comes Mother Goose (My Very First Mother Goose)
from Candlewick
Price: $16.04

Customer Review:
Why did she shorten a number of the poems/ditties? This reads like my radio scanning the first 10 seconds of each station. These poems were written with lots of verses, why not include them?

from Scholastic
Price: $7.95

Customer Review:
I thought this would be a nice book for a baby gift but it was really too preachy and aimed at parents not children. I returned the book.

7. My Kindergarten (Booklist Editors Choice. Books for Youth (Awards)) My Kindergarten (Booklist Editor's Choice. Books for Youth (Awards))
from Hyperion
Price: $11.55

Customer Review:
I love almost everything Rosemary Wells has ever written, and this book is no exception! It follows Emily (a bunny) and her classmates through kindergarten, both in school and outside. While they learn, your child can learn, but not in a forced, worksheet type way---rather, just by observing what... more info

from Scholastic
Price: $8.99

Customer Review:
This book was a present to me a few weeks ago from my husband. He gave it to me because he knows as a first grade teacher it helps to know someone "understands" these children's issues, and what is going on each day beyond my open doorway in the life of children which can be so varied and which so... more info

9. Noisy Nora (Picture Books) Noisy Nora (Picture Books)
from Puffin
Price: $6.99

Customer Review:
"Noisy Nora" is the story of a young mouse girl, a middle child who just can't seem to get any attention. Ignored because her younger brother needs constant care and her parents play games with her older sister, she resorts to acting out --- making all sorts of noise. The rhymes are simple but... more info

10. I Love You! A Bushel A Peck I Love You! A Bushel & A Peck
from HarperCollins
Price: $11.67

Customer Review:
My 2 1/2 year old twins love it when I sing this song to them, so I was thrilled to find a book that illustrated it. The pictures are bright and fun, and it's always nice when the publisher includes the lyrics/music, as it does in this one.
