Here’s a list of some more books that my husband and I have to read several times a day at the request of our little dictator (son):

-Bunny Mail by Rosemary Wells.  It’s a really cute “Max and Ruby” story combining the Fourth of July and presents from Santa.  (Most of Wells’ books are hits at our home.)

-Howdi Do by Woody Guthrie.  My husband won’t read it , so I get the honor. (The repeating course is a type of tongue twister…”Howjee, heejee, hijee, hojee….” )  My son loves it though.

-please, baby, please by Spike Lee & Tonya Lewis Lee.  It’s an adorably illustrated (by Kadir Nelson) book about the things parents beg their children to do on a daily basis.  Both parents and kids will get a familiar smile out of this one.

And

-Hooray for Fish by Lucy Cousins.  This colorful picture book follows a little fish as he speaks to his various fish friends.  It helps reinforce colors, emotions, numbers, etc.  It’s also an easy read so your child will probably end up reading it to you.  (Lucy Cousins’ books are also very popular in our home.)
