Favorite book as a kid? Yours or your kidlet's...
My friend from home is having a book-themed shower (book instead of a card), and I'm trying to think of some of the books I liked as a little kid, but the only one I've come up with that isn't out of print is Blueberries for Sal. I'm trying to think of ones that aren't SO popular that she'll get 6 of them (so not the more common Dr Seuss or Goodnight Moon etc)....
What were your faves? Or your kid's faves?

it's kind of funny because if you read it as an adult, there are some hardcore double entendres (sp?) with the dachshund...
I loved this book as kid:

My little brothers love the Walter The Farting Dog Series.
Flat Stanley
Tiger's Bedtime
The Polar Express
If You Give A Mouse A Cookie
My Ovulation Chart
I love book showers!
I liked the Beirnstein Bear books and The Ugly Duckling.
Ahhh I forgot If You Give a Mouse a Cookie! I LOVED that!!!
These are all great suggestions. Thanks, guys!!
The Monster at the End of the Book
My fave as a kid was The Phantom Tollbooth, but that isn't really a baby book (still a good one)
Stuff my various classes have loved:
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See (Also in a Polar Bear, What do you hear? variety)
Ten Sly Piranhas
Anything Mem Fox ever wrote
The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry and The Big Hungry Bear
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
Silly Sally
Also everything everyone else has mentioned. All good ones.
This was my favorite book EVER. Both my sister and me.
It's a cute one.
My first VPK class asked for this book at Story Time ever. day. For a year. By June, they could recite it and I just turned the pages.
I love(d) George and Martha books.
and the Harry Books.
I love Flat Stanley
The Rainbow Fish?
Although, that one is about sharing, so maybe not. It is all illustrated in watercolor though.
I'm not sure what book you're talking about, but you made me remember another one: The Fish Who Could Wish!
Harry the Dirty Dog
One Kitten for Kim
Puddle Duck
There's a Monster at the End of this Book
How is it that my BABY is going to be 3?

I just thought of another one! The Knuffle Bunny series. All the backgrounds are photographs of Brooklyn, with the characters drawn in. It's very, very cute.
