My best friend’s baby shower is Sunday and I’m in Baby Shower mode (BTW, she’s at 29 weeks and looks fabulous! She has only a tiny baby bump!). I was thinking about children’s books, which ones are essential in a nursery, so I compiled my list. I know book titles are supposed to be underlined, but I can’t figure out how to do that in WordPress (I italicized them instead)!
These are my top ten favorite children’s books for infants & toddlers (some of them were my mother’s favorites to read to me).
