Help:) Best Classic Baby Books
Hello ladies:) I don't really post here anymore but I lurk often. I know there are lots of mommies on this board and I thought you ladies could help me.
A very good friend of mine will be having twins in June and I'd like to slowly start buying her some great classic books for the twins when they are born.
I was wondering if you mommies could recommend some of your favorites along with the any classics you remember were special as a kid. As of now I'm thinking Dr. Seuss, Good Night Moon, The Giving Tree, Where the Sidewalk Ends, etc.
Any suggestions? I'd like to get a few books from each age range like when they are babies to when they are toddlers, kids, etc. TIA:)

My Photography Blog
I'm partial to Santa Mouse. Although most likely not a classic, it was the first book I learned how to read all by myself
I also love the books Snowmen at Night and Snowmen at Christmas. Dr. Suess books are great because they help to teach phonetics and are just plain silly!
