What Moms Can’t Do by Douglas Wood is a Scholastic book my daughter Caitlin asked me to read to her kindergarten class. It’s about how moms can’t hear themselves, think sometimes, or can’t enjoy sugary cereals like kids do – silly things kids and moms can relate to. It is a fun read for Mother’s Day.

I’m not sure if my mother bought Fancy Nancy for my daughter or me. She knows how I love lace, ruffles, and frills. I think Caroline loves the book because I love it so much! The detailed illustrations are bright and cheerful. This is definitely our favorite book.

My son Luke just did a book report on The Stinky Cheese Man for his second grade class. He loved the book but I think the title was enough to hook an eight-year old boy.

Oh The Places You’ll Go by Dr. Seuss is a family favorite. It’s about persevering and following your dreams. I love that my children Michael 8, Matthew 5, and David 4 love this book. I want them to know that their future has unlimited possibilities and to never give up.

We call out two year old Tyler “Bear” so he is thrilled when we read Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See? It’s short enough to hold his attention and it’s a great way for him to learn about animals.

I’ve passed on most of 14 year old daughter’s books. But Love You Forever I kept. Holding on to this book is like holding on to my “baby girl.” It brings a tear to my eye just thinking of reading that beautiful message to her.

Love You Forever by Robert Munsch

The Pigeon Who Wants A Puppy is my Michael’s favorite book. He’s three years old and can relate to Pigeon who’s cute and funny. I look forward to reading the other Pigeon books to him too.

My two girls love Laura Numeroff books. We have them all but Haley’s (five) favorite is If You Take A Mouse To The Movies and Anna’s (six) favorite is If You Give A Moose A Muffin. The illustrations in both books is cheerful and fun. If You Take A Mouse To The Movies is a great Christmas gift.

Kayla, my three year old daughter loves The Very Hungry Caterpillar so much I tell her I won’t read it if she doesn’t brush her teeth. I know it’s bad but it works.

Emma, my six year old just received Fancy Nancy: Explorer Extraordinaire for her birthday last week. She loves it and has been trying to use “Fancy” words all week.

Hands-down, The Very Hungry Caterpillar is my 2 1/2 year old Alicia’s favorite book. Of course the holes are the big attraction. It wouldn’t be night time without seeing her little fingers trying to wiggle through them!

Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type is a funny book that my twins, Chris and Kyle age 6 love to read. My husband and I get a kick out of it too.

My kids are older now, 12 and 15. So they have outgrown picture books. But their favorite book by far was Where the Wild Things Are. I myself could never really understand its appeal but I sure miss reading it to them.

My daughter Sarah Marie is only 18 months so her attention span is very short. But when I tell her to bring me a book from the shelf it is always I Am A Bunny! Sometimes we only get halfway through it before she’s on to somehting else but I Am A Bunny is her favorite.

I asked my girls Megan, four, and Lilly, five, what their favorite books were. I didn’t know it would start such a project! They pulled books off of all their shelves and lined them up debating all the way. Seems that Pinkalicious was the clear winner. Fun!!!

My three year-old daughter Jessica can’t go to sleep without hearing Goodnight Moon. She has to point to the things in her room that correspond to the pictures like her own bear, light, and chair. I was surprised how a classic book can touch my own child so much.

Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown

My sister passed on a book from her son to my five-year old Jake. It’s called Pauline the Plumber. I’m not sure anyone else has ever even head of it. But I practically know it by heart. Jake even visits the PVC pipes in Home Depot.
