A good children's book can be read many ways, and has little details that are revealed over repeated readings. Isn't it fun to figure out where the mouse is in each color panel of Goodnight Moon, and see how that book and Runaway Bunny tie in to each other? - stretta from twhirl
Harold and the Purple Crayon! - Jennifer Dittrich
I actually learned a lot about body parts and basic science through books. ie: scabs, nostrils, blood, etc. (Japanese children books LOL) I wonder if there are English translations http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp... - Mona Nomura

I read Carle to my daughter quite a lot when she was younger. I like Mo Willems (spelling?). And there is a guy that does Russell the Sheep that has art that is so slick.

LOVED "The Phantom Tollbooth" when I was a kid. As far as really little kid books go... I love to read "Goodnight Moon" to my son before bed. He is 10-months-old and really likes it!
