Okay, Jackson has a grand total of 4 of those books. In my opinion, they have left several "classics" off of their list. Where are books like "Goodnight Moon" and "Guess How Much I Love You?" Plus, to me, all Dr. Seuss books are technically classics. I hope my child doesn't feel too deprived when he is old enough to read this list! : )
Tia & Caelleb BOTH love the napping house. They like "brown bear, brown bear, what do you see" (this book really helped Caelleb w/his colors) better than the polar bear one. and there is this book about cows that type (the title is escaping me) that they absolutely LOVE!!!!!
Kate, I think that Goodnight Moon is on their Top 50 Books for Infants if I remember correctly...
