(You've just given me some inspiration for one!) But right off the top of my head, some essential books for a child's library:<br /><br />The Velveteen Rabbit, by Margery Williams <br /><br />Little Quack (forget the author)<br /><br />Love You Forever, by Robert Munsch<br /><br />On the Day You Were Born, by Debra Frasier <br /><br />Anything by Jamie Lee Curtis <br /><br />Hope that helps for now!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07226691769768760275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352625826349400447.post-66326827208177106842010-08-22T18:33:49.266+02:002010-08-22T18:33:49.266+02:00My kids spent their first 6 years in England so I ...My kids spent their first 6 years in England so I have some ideas on good books. <br /><br />The first one you need to get is <i>Guess How Much I Love You</i> by Sam McBratney, which is an absolutely lovely, sweet book. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guess_How_Much_I_Love_You<br /><br />Another book that you can't leave out is The Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.<br /><br />Debie Gliori's books about Mr Bear are also a must.<br /><br />For the slightly older child (we're talking 2, 3 years and up) the books by Dr Seuss are fantastic. Honestly! And if for some odd reason the child doesn't like it, you as adult will do! <br /><br />Hope it's useful. There are loads of great children's book of course, but these stand out in my head.<br /><br />BTW Please enter my giveaway (Europe) if you like!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352625826349400447.post-33975292388490631922010-08-22T17:21:30.411+02:002010-08-22T17:21:30.411+02:00I see many of these on the list of 1001 Children&#...I see many of these on the list of 1001 Children's Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up. It is almost impossible for me to obtain some of them in the US, sadly.<br /><br />I have many, many children's book recommendations. That is what I do for a living; I am a children's librarian!<br /><br />I have a recent post about the ten books I've read recently from the 1001 list that I've loved. <br /><br />Also, I have lots of reviews for nonfiction picture books. I love nonfiction picture books.Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352625826349400447.post-75131236581177301742010-08-22T14:00:54.200+02:002010-08-22T14:00:54.200+02:00I like the covers of the books.
