[quote=Anonymous]Anything is good. Richard Scarry has some excellent books ranging from a book about bunnies to word books to books about transportation or occupations. They seem to be universally popular with the 0-5 range.

Sandra Boynton also has some excellent books. My personal favorites are Fifteen Animals, Happy Hippo Angry Duck, The Belly Button Book and Hippos Go Berserk.

Mo Willem's pigeon books are also lots of fun. As the child ages, there's the Gerald and Piggy books too.

I'm also big on exposing kids to poetry and frequently give A Child's Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson as a gift. Barnes and Noble has a series of books that are inexpensive and are by various poets including RLS, Walter Whitman, Robert Frost, Shakespeare, Maya Angelou, Lewis Carroll etc. It's called Poetry for Young People.

Shel Silverstein is another fun poet.

Some individual poems that can sometimes be found in illustrated form are The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear, Wynken Blynken and Nod and The Sugarplum Tree  by Eugene Field, and The Tale of Custard the Dragon by Ogden Nash.[/quote]
