So my husband and I have passed our love for reading along to our daughter, Portia. By three, reading was already one of her favorite activities and the library one of her favorite places. Here are a few picture books she's loved over the years.
Happy reading!
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On by Jenny Slate and Dean Fleischer-Camp
All the World by Liz Scanlon (I love the art in this one)
Read to Tiger by S.J. Fore
Mr. Tuggles Troubles by LeeAnn Blankenship
Frog and Toad books by Arnold Lobel
Little Bear's Trousers by Jane Hissey
Ladybug Girl Dresses Up by David Soman and Jacky Davis
High Five with Julius by Paul Frank (this is from days past, but a great book for little one's learning to high five!)
More books we've enjoyed...
