Though there have been lots of great new books released, these classics stand the test of time and make for great reading with you and your child.

I was just thinking this morning about the Winnie The Pooh books and how much I loved when my dad read them to me. I always got to pick the chapter. It was great times.
I have to many quality memories of children's books. My dad's favorite to read with us was "Fox in Socks." Now that I'm an adult, I think he might have just been impressed at the speed in which he could read that book, because he had a Seuss-ian tongue. But one of my favorites was "Imogene's Antlers." It was a Reading Rainbow book and I absolutely loved it.
