One of my favorites was "The Runaway Bunny," by Margaret Wise brown (who also wrote "Goodnight Moon," another great read-aloud book).

I also loved "The Gnats of Knotty Pine," by Bill Peet, and "Where the Wild Things Are," by Maurice Sendak.

My mom also read me "The Little House on the Prairie" series by reading a chapter each night before I went to bed. I loved it, and it was so nice being read to every night before bed. When I have kids, I am definitely going to do the same.

I love kids books and already have a collection for myself! When I worked at a bookstore years ago I got an awesome discount so I have a good collection.
