This is a Fallout remake of a children's book.
It's Real
>Papa, Mama, Brother, and Sister are getting new neighbors – The Panda Family. However, Papa isn’t sure that he likes the new neighbors because they are different than the rest of the bears. It’s up to both families to help Papa see that although the Panda family may look different – they are just like everyone else.

Congratulations! :D
What is with these people who berate people even after they get what they want. I'm SO glad you stopped them from doing that and I HATE that seemingly nice people have to settle for horrid POS spouses that don't deserve it.
It makes me wonder just what kind of person raises a child like that. She's 21 and she throws tantrums at the store. I read a Berenstain Bears book long ago that probably taught me more about how to behave than this girl has learned in her whole life.
Here's the Berenstain Bears book that changed my life for the better.
I think that, if they tried to sell it, the author might get in trouble since it's a copy of a picture book.
Huh? I've seen this picture somewhere before...
r/incels irl
How is this list complete without The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear?
That's easily one of the most beautiful children's books that has ever been published. The colored pencilwork is breathtaking.
This is in one of my daughter's story books, called Zen Shorts, by Jon J. Muth, and it features Stillwater, a giant zen panda who entertains three children, siblings, with this and a couple other well-known koans. It won Caldecott honors. One of the most beautiful, gentle books I've seen for kids who understand.
As a childrens librarian I recommend The Heart and the Bottle and Ida Always. These usually get good feedback from parents. Both are aimed at teaching children to feel their feelings, and not bottle grief.
You might want to check out the Mourner's Bill of Rights and remember that both you and Sadie have the right to grieve as you need to.
My son is that age and he loves reading board books with mom and dad (and trying to eat them too). His favorite right now is Moo Baa La La La (and some of his other favorites are Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? and The Pout-Pout Fish).
Around that age he also started wanting to climb out of the bathtub, so we were really happy with this The Fill And Spin Water Fountain Bath Toys - Flow Fill Spin Water Spout Interactive Baby And Kids Bathtub Toys - with Extra Orange Cloud . When he figured out how to spin the googly eyes with his finger, he just sort of cooed at it for a few minutes and it was unbelievably cute to watch (and of course he is now more busy playing with the toy to bother as much with climbing out of the tub).
A coworker gave us a stuffed animal (Friendship League 12" Plush Moose ) that our guy has also enjoyed playing with.
He also loves climbing up the stairs (with mom or dad) and throwing blocks (as well as everything in our recycling bin) down them.
An inexpensive item you could also gift could be a pack of tennis balls. Our son loves their bright color and since we have a lot of hardwood he’s super entertained when I show him how to bounce and roll them.
Hope this helps offer a few ideas.

Technically, Else Holmelund Minarik wrote those words in the original book "Little Bear".
> this book that's one of her favorites
Ooh, haven't seen that one before, but my 3-year old loves this one by the same author.
Try "Zen Shorts" by Junh Muth. http://www.amazon.com/Zen-Shorts-Caldecott-Honor-Book/dp/0439339111/ref=la_B001H6UCHW_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1367845573&sr=1-4
I love the book. i read it to my kids so much the cover wore off and I had to buy another copy.
It's been parodied a lot but originally it was a children's book.
Sure there are. But probably with a different name.
Zen Shorts are one. It's a series of books with short Zen stories and illustrations for kids:
https://www.amazon.com/Zen-Shorts-Caldecott-Honor-Book/dp/0439339111/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486130149&sr=8-1&keywords=zen+shorts
Have You Filled a Bucket Today:

lets kids know that it feels bad to others to bully, but that you can "fill others' buckets" by giving compliments and saying nice things.
Heck, most kids can even understand The 4 Agreements: https://www.amazon.com/Four-Agreements-Practical-Personal-Freedom/dp/1878424319/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486130060&sr=8-1&keywords=the+4+agreements
I'm sure there are quite a few others, but they are not coming to mind right now.

The book in question
Great questions! (from both you and your kiddo!). I came across this article - http://www.washington.edu/news/2013/01/08/the-philosophical-child-a-book-for-when-your-child-asks-why-are-we-here/ - which recommends a book for parents, but that doesn't sound like exactly what you're looking for.
In terms of philosophical picture books, the closest thing I can think of would be I Wonder by Annaka Harris. You might also check out the Zen Shorts series, though I don't think any of them really address "nature of reality" type questions directly. Also, while not exactly a picture book, the book Is Nothing Something? might give you some good starting points for discussion. Big Questions for Little People is similar but aimed at slightly older kids. You're Here For A Reason could also be relevant, although maybe not philosophical in quite the way you're looking for.
You could also take "How am I alive?" in a more scientific direction - you might enjoy You Are Stardust and Older Than the Stars, or a simple introduction to evolution such as Our Family Tree. You could also explore simple books about the human body and discuss how her heart, lungs, brain, etc allow her to walk and talk and stay alive - something like See Inside Your Body or Outside-In - or even go into a bit more detail about how she got "in mom's tummy" with a book like Who Am I? Where Did I Come From? or Before You Were Born - or talk about past generations (i.e. mom came from HER mom's tummy!) with a book like Me and My Family Tree
Hope some of that is helpful - of course this is a discussion you can continue as she gets older, and there are lots of great books for older kids that more directly tackle different beliefs and ideas about why we are here.
They make bitter, but safe, polishes you can paint on the nails to deter biters.
Also, the Berenstain Bears have a relevant book you can read together.
Also, be sure to file, not clip, any ridges or uneven tips. I'm a biter and I find having even, smooth surfaces discourages me.
My son is three. So far, we have:
(https://www.amazon.com/Baby-Here-Daniel-Tigers-Neighborhood/dp/1481430130)
I have not ordered it yet, but I have also been building a personalized book for him on Twigtale, using the "Becoming a Big Sibling" template. The first time I read the template, I cried because it was so sweet (and I am pregnant). You can add pictures to all the pages and change all of the text, and it's only $20.
sequel?
I'd also like to add
The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry, and THE BIG HUNGRY BEAR
link for the lazy
Yeah, it's a very famous children's book. I honestly love this book, and so do my cousin's children. Very funny.
I remember two of her other books: The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear
and Quick as a Cricket.
That story is actually part of one of my son's favorite bedtime stories, Zen Shorts.
My favorite.
Here's a reading of it.
Go easy on him; he's just a kid. He's probably at least read about bears and things in a book. Reading books about wildlife is pretty much the same as wilderness survival. He even saw an opossum once when he was taking out the trash! He's got this! Let him go out in the woods. Nature will take care of him.
Do you read to him? I just came across this book in our pile of hand-me-downs. Maybe worth a try! It might help to read it together and then talk to him before going to the store rather than during, like Mama and Papa learn to do.
https://www.amazon.com/Berenstain-Bears-Get-Gimmies/dp/0394805666/ref=nodl_
My Dad just read me this book and it stopped me forever. Not my sister though lol.
IDC about bitten nails and think they are kind of cute. Big hands, especially bigger than mine, I just cannot deal with lmao. It's so unreasonable but a lot of it revolves around just not wanting big hands on my dick. Also, hand tattoos for similar reasons. One of my instagram crushes tattooed her hand and I was unreasonably upset over it, unfollowed.
Yay! Congratulations. I love children's books unabashedly. I'll limit myself to the 0-5ish age range, as you have some time for the rest.
First books:
Next, for narrative and fun!
Going into the children's section at the bookstore/library can be intimidating-- Dora and Elmo and Barney assault you at every turn, but there are some real gems in there. Look at Caldecott winners for glorious artwork and storytelling.
Finally, try reading a book out loud to yourself. If it's taking forever or if you're getting bored, it's probably not worth trying to read it to a kid. I once got a three-year-old Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, which is very text heavy. Poor choice.
I love Jon Klassen, his new one This is Not my Hat and my FAVORITE I Want My Hat Back They are so funny!! I teach preschool and the kids love them!
reading is awesome
I have a whole children's books list for work. I take this opportunity to list some of my favorite books on my list for all to see.
The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle. A delightfully repetitious book that children can join in on about a pompous ladybug who pretends to be tough but in reality is not very tough. "Hey you! Want to fight?!"
The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf. A book about a pacifist bull who refuses to bullfight. I love this story as a way to highlight introverts and pacifists instead of macho, extroverts like most books do.
Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson. How do you even describe this book? Harold uses a magical crayon that creates whatever he draws. His adventures are created by himself. He causes mischief and gets out of mischief all by his own creations.
Spoon by Amy Rosenthal. This is about a spoon that is uncertain with its place in the world. He believes that knives, forks, and chopsticks get to have all the fun. His parents teach him otherwise. Who else gets to eat ice cream?!
Henny Penny by Paul Galdone. The sky is falling and Henny Penny must tell the King! A fun nonsense rhyming book with repetition that children can join in the refrain.
Corduroy by Don Freeman. A stuffed bear in a department store is almost purchased by a little girl until her mother tells her that she spent too much money and the bear is missing a button. Corduroy ventures off through the department store to find his button. I love this little story. Plus the linked version comes with a Corduroy!
Mr. Gumpy's Outing by John Buningham. The amazon summary is probably better than what I would say: It's a pleasant day, so Mr. Gumpy decides to go for a boat ride. Each barnyard animal begs to join him, and Mr. Gumpy agrees-as long as each behaves! Two children join the fun, and as soon as the boat is launched, everyone does exactly what Mr. Gumpy asked them not to do.
Some honorable mentions from my list: Knuffle Bunny, A Visitor for Bear, I Got Two Dogs, I Ain't Gonna Paint No More, The Three Pigs, The Big Green Monster (someone else already posted this!)
Oh god, I could spend hours in this topic. I have so many books already that are not on my list. I may be stealing this idea for a contest later this week. Thank you for the contest. Reading is awesome and I love instilling a passion for reading in preschoolers.
It's Nice To Be An Otter
What A Wonderful World
That's Not My Monkey
Monster Parade
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
Chicka Chicka ABC
Rainbow Fish
All are board books except Monster Parade and I couldn't find the board book link for Rainbow Fish but that's what we have. His favorites are the top 4 I listed. I've been reading those to him since he was a newborn and loves the pictures. He smiles and giggles at the otters (my fave animal!) and lights up when we get to "the colors of the rainbow" in What A Wonderful World, which is a very special song for my mom and me so it's pretty amazing to pass that onto my son.

Etc.
I think you might be right.
I'd recommend the works of Eric Carle
Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See? is a classic, with all the amazing animals.
Can't go wrong with The Very Hungry Caterpillar either.
A House for Hermit Crab will always be my favorite. A hermit crab dislikes his shell for being too plain, and seeks to decorate it with all sorts of undersea life.
Some of my very favorites:
ELL/Immigrant:
The Name Jar
My Name is Yoon
My Name is Sangoel

I Want My Hat Back.
It's on Onika's book wishlist. Which is full of kids books. Onika has a huge collection of books.
If anyone is adding books for their child, I added this one to Julianas. I thought it was really cute, so maybe someone else will want to add it to theirs too.

Reminds me of Happy Birthday Moon :)
Happy Birthday Moon.
With this much press, obligatory link is needed to purchase said book for at the very least as a troll gift.
Found it, you can purchase it here Link if anyone cares to.

I have a friend who reads me stories sometimes, and this is my favoooorite to be read:
http://www.amazon.com/I-Want-My-Hat-Back/dp/0763655988
I HAVE SEEN MY HAT!
Yeah, I second the book idea. Not totally unique but I think three to five books for kids that you loved when you were a child or that your child loves are great. That's what I always go with and that's what we used to do when I would go shopping with my mom. My faves that aren't super obvious (i.e. not "Good Night Moon") are Jamberry, Jesse Bear What Will You Wear (that's my name, so, I loved it, obviously), Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (huge hit for me and later for my sis, which would make sense if you know the plot), Snow Day, and Happy Birthday Moon.
If you want to go absolute classics, these are some of my faves: The Very Hungry Caterpillar, In the Night Kitchen, The Giving Tree, and Harold and the Purple Crayon (Probably my favorite children's book of all time).
Hope that helps!
Edit: formatting
Corduroy
I have a 4.5 yr old girl and can really relate. We have the Bernstain Bears book on strangers, and I can't recommend it highly enough. It deals with the subject in a very even handed manner, to teach the "safety rules" while not inciting fearfulness. My daughter's preschool also has a major focus this year on "personal safety" which encompasses a WIDE range of safety issues. It's nice for them to hear a consistent message from a variety of sources.

https://www.amazon.com/The-Complete-Tales-of-Winnie-The-Pooh/dp/0525457232
You will never find more wisdom than from pooh
---
Piglet: “How do you spell ‘love’?”
Pooh: “You don’t spell it…you feel it.” —Winnie-the-Pooh
“Some people care too much. I think it’s called love.” —Winnie-the-Pooh
“Love is taking a few steps backward, maybe even more…to give way to the happiness of the person you love.” —Winnie-the-Pooh
“If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together, keep me in your heart, I’ll stay there forever."
“I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.” —Winnie-the-Pooh
I love I Want My Hat Back and its sequel, This Is Not My Hat. Because they are very slyly hilarious.
No, the original is a book called, "I want my Hat back." http://www.amazon.com/I-Want-My-Hat-Back/dp/0763655988
Zen Shorts by Jon J. Muth
And it's squeals.
can recommend this
I'm not a regular contributor, but I felt like making a top-10 list of my favorite books so far. (My son will be turning 3 soon.)
The rules mention links to facebook or blogs; I'm hoping non-referral links to Amazon are okay. I'll link board books where possible, because pages get ripped and torn until at least two-and-a-half years of age.
The Berenstain Bears No Girls Allowed
This is a cute book about being a gracious winner at games and also not excluding people.
It's a Madoka-themed set of artwork for a children's picture book (and modern classic) by the same title. The narration is almost straight from the book itself.
Edit:
I should clarify: the voice acting is entirely original, and there are a fair number of minor changes. The major change is the addition of the "Morning Rescue" man, who apparently is a joke related to a commercial from when Madoka Magica first aired.
Yes! Its This one right it seems everyone loved little bear!
CONGRATULATIONS! Roll Tide baby
My guess is 8:21 PM. Is the book for the older daughter or younger? I'm not sure of her age, but when I was young I really liked A Bad Case of Stripes, Madeline, Ruby the Copycat, Pigsty, or The Berenstain Bears' New Baby
LOVE this! Reminds me of my favorite books from when I was little http://www.amazon.com/Little-Strawberry-Hungry-Childs-Library/dp/0859536599/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1377972310&sr=8-1&keywords=Mouse+and+the+strawberry
it's also in Zen Shorts if yo want to share it with children of any age that way.

Get the one for birds. Birds have a much lower threshhold for toxic products than nearly anything else, and will probably be safe for you.
If you die, have your mom message me for a profound and sincere apology. ;)
(seriously, ask your doctor first if you are concerned about it)
(edit - there is something similar made for thumbsucking babies, too)
2nd edit -
You shouldn't have said anything. Now I am having too much fun with this: http://www.amazon.com/The-Berenstain-Bears-Bad-Habit/dp/0394873408/ref=pd_sim_bt_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0AQR7JACFG86P6XCJ846
It's an illustration from a popular classic children's book.
Love love love reading to my two daughters - 1 and 3. My grandmother was an elementary school teacher, so we grew up always being read to and were quick to learn to read ourselves - and now am definitely passing that along to my kids. Each of them get three books before bed at the very least, and are always bringing books over for us to read to them. I love it when they're at the stage where they're just really learning to talk, and babble their way through pretending to read a book. :-)
Some of our favorite books lately have been:
I still have my collection of books from when I was young - I am looking forward to introducing them to Beverly Cleary and Roald Dahl as they get older.
Could it be The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear?

This brought back great memories. Also, type any title into youtube to listen to a reading so you know if you like the book before buying. As for category, "animal noises" or "onomatopoeia" are good search terms.
is it this? there are a few stories in this book, but one is about a birthday party. with a cake.
Sounds like The Little Mouse, the Red Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear by Don and Audrey Wood. But it wasn't a series.
The Berenstain Bears book about strangers is an awesome way to teach kids about stranger danger without totally freaking them out. Your kid is probably too young to totally get it, but I always recommend this one because it's not completely overboard. You don't want your kid to be scared of everyone, but you do want to instill a healthy skepticism.
Scary. I'm glad everything turned out okay and the cops got to him.
That and this one were my favorites.
The other day I found this at the store.

Green eggs and ham is a pretty cool book, but have you tried books by Karma Wilson? Animal Strike at the Zoo is a pretty cute one for you and your daughter! I like the Bear related series the best!
I would love to have Bear Stays Up for Christmas to add my library. I collect little kid books for my preschool classroom!
I read several to my oldest son when I was pregnant with his little brother. He was a bit older than your son (he was 3 by the time his brother was born) This was also about 7 years ago but here are some links.
I'm a Big Brother by Joanna Cole (She has a sister version too) http://www.amazon.com/Im-Big-Brother-Joanna-Cole/dp/0061900656/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331570540&sr=8-1

and I loved Peter's Chair by Ezra jack Keats. http://www.amazon.com/Peters-Chair-Picture-Puffins-Keats/dp/0140564411/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_2
These might be a little old for your son but if you go to amazon and type "big brother books" you get a whole list.
It's a children's book about a teddy bear that gets adopted by a girl and finds a friend.
In the children's book Zen Shorts, there are short meditations that come from Zen Buddhist literature. One of them is called Uncle Ry and the Moon. It is about a man who robs Stillwater's (the main character) uncles house. During the robbery, the uncle comes home and sees the house guest. Wanting to give something to the visitor, but being poor and having nothing he offers him his only robe. After the robber leaves the uncle says, "Poor man, all I had to give him was my tattered robe, If only I could have given him this wonderful moon." After the short meditation in the middle of the book, Stillwater is talking to a Addy, a little girl, who makes a comment about how if she had a robber come into her house she doesn't think she could have given up her only robe and Stillwater replies, "I know how that is, But there always the moon."
So there it is, TheresAlwaysTheMoon.
My daughter is 1.5, she doesnt talk, but she LOVES to read! I would love for her to have a special Christmas book that we can read on Christmas eve, like this bear book! My son is 6 months and we are starting sign with him and this book would be great for him! I think books are a great gifts, nice choice and thank you for the kind offer :)
For books my kid loved as a baby most of these he still likes at 2 but now have them memorized:
pretty much anything Eric Carle and also Sandra Boynton (especially pajama time and 1,2,3)
Good night moon
Little blue truck
He loved the touch and feel books by usborne "that's not my ----" tons of these like that's not my cow, lion, monkey etc. ( usually cheaper from an usborne seller but amazon has some That's Not My Panda. Written by Fiona Watt (Usborne Touchy-Feely Books) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1409549836/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_RnfSybGEM3PJ8)

Is it this one
This is the link to Nayomi's wishlist
The gift I chose is Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? By Eric Carle. I loved these books when I was little, and they still have the most beautiful illustrations that anyone, even adults, can appreciate!
Nayomi is a twin with a younger sibling. She just started pre-school and her family has been going through hard times. It sounds like one of her grandmothers just passed away after losing a battle to cancer, and her mom was injured and now can't work due to a spinal injury. The mom is also currently pregnant, and having a tough pregnancy. Their father luckily still has a job, but has to work a lot to make ends meet. They sound like a really sweet group of kids, I want to gift them all, but this book is something all could share, even if it does come off of Nayomi's list.
This would be neat as an ideal item under $15.
Anywho.
Activity: Lounging about and making weird sounds to my son. Laughing when he tries to mimic said sounds back to me.
Movie: Ew, such a tough one, have so many favorites here. Um...well, let's say Big Trouble in Little China. One of those movies that I'll always stop everything to watch it.
Book: Again, super tough choice for me. I'm going to have to go with Cormac McCarthy's, The Road. Super chilling book that's actually about nothing much at all, yet I could not put it down any of the times I read it. Speaking of which, I really need to get another copy, ex ended up with mine and...yeah. Also was a huge fan of the Dark Tower series, well, until King was hit by the car, then everything just took on this weird turn and it lost some of the magic in it for me. Still good, just not as good as the ones before.
Comic Book: Another tough choice, so I'll limit it to series that have run their course, though Saga is just sooooo good, and Locke & Key is almost at the end. Nah, I'll have to go with either Preacher or maybe Y: The Last Man. Though to be fair I read Preacher quite a few years ago so maybe it won't hold up like it used to, did have some pretty weird bits that just seemed to be there to drag things out. Y was fantastic, really neat and realistic look at a world after an apocalypse of sorts.
Oh, shoot. Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. That's a good one. Yeah, I'll go with that one. It was what got me into comics, like, well, beyond just what Marvel or DC had to offer. Showed me that there was a whole world of artists and studios out there that I just didn't know about. Plus it really fit my messed up sense of humor. Yeah, we'll go with JTHM for favorite comic.
As for a quick blurb about me, well, I'm of Irish descent, which would likely explain my love for all things Potato which, not that I think about it, makes me wish I had some right now. Man, some of those loaded, or maybe bacon chipotle instant potatoes would be so boss right now. Damn, why did I not pick any of those up at the store the other night? I mean, I was there, I was literally right there beside them in the aisle picking up some things on the shelf right next to them. Man, I know they were instant and all, but they were still so good. I mean, they weren't nearly as good as the homemade mashed potatoes that my granny used to make, but still. Speaking of which, man, I really miss her cooking. I really just miss her in general. Eff cancer.
Oh...yeah, I also tend to ramble off topic sometimes. Probably help if I didn't end up typing everything I was thinking out as some sort of free flow type, but...yeah, there you have it. I mean, editing would likely help a great deal as well. Be dead simple to go back and delete things really, but then we have the hassle of figuring out which bits, and how to string the other bits together to make sense without those bits, and then we quickly have something written out that wasn't what I actually said but something of mine taken and made into something that wasn't really me. If that makes sense.
YES. I remember this one being my favorite: http://www.amazon.com/The-Berenstain-Bears-Get-Gimmies/dp/0394805666
This reminds me of one of the most fantastic children's books I have ever read, here.
You're not alone.
84!
>...mas isso é no exterior. Pensei que estava preocupado com esse incentivo no Brasil, por isso citei minhas escolas.
Brasil esta sempre atrasado em qualquer coisa :P
Jaja esta aqui sim. Se procurar bem, consegue achar. Menino de Vestido e o livro australiano "Introducing Teddy" recem foi traduzido aqui.
>O que torna alguém com transtorno de gênero passível de menos piedade que alguém com transtorno bipolar, ou depressivo?
Eh exatamente o meu ponto, soh que ao contrario. Quantas paradas/festivais existem para trazer consciência da doença e respeito as pessoas com depressao, sindrome de tourretes ou transtorno bipolar, etc? Aqui no Brasil teremos o primeiro festival para Trans contra o "cis", repara que nao eh para combater o preconceito, eh contra o "Cisgenero". Lah fora ja existem diversos...
Is no one else reminded of the classic children's book?
The Little Mouse, the Big Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear Book Link
I'm so sorry for your loss.
When my mum was sick earlier this year, I started reading my 4 year old books about death and loss.

These first 2 are beautiful stories about losing someone but keeping their memory alive.

And this one is more direct and helped my son understand what was going on after she passed away.
Kids are surprisingly resilient and if you're open and honest with her she'll be ok.
Out of curiosity where are you from? I know this kind of messaging was ubiquitous in the US, but some people may not remember it very consciously.
Here are a few to get you started.

That sounds like it would be one of my favorite Berenstein Bear stories, if I actually remembered it--but I don't.
Is this the one: http://www.amazon.com/Berenstain-Bears-Learn-About-Strangers/dp/0394873343
It was this.
I think they talk about people not touching where your bathing suit goes or something and that's what clued me in.
Haha nope. His house in his cage is a big strawberry. Reminds me of this
Little Bear
I buy 'unconventional' books for my baby. If I have to read them 700 times, I'm going to enjoy it too.
My Monster Momma Loves Me So,
I Want My Hat Back, and Moonpowder
are currently his three favorites. They are all really cute and I love the art styles.
We also sing Sylvia Long's version of Hush Little Baby to him for a lullaby (less consumerism, more nature.)
Corduroy.
Make it Count!
It's definitely worth it. And I would love this, you might love it too!
I'm not sure I understand the issue with everyone getting it at the same time. I direct you to here: http://www.amazon.com/The-Berenstain-Bears-Get-Gimmies/dp/0394805666
And here's a link to the book for the VHS you have where it's spelled differently:

Vaguely reminds me of the “Little Bear” series? He lives with his mom-bear and has various culinary adventures
ETA: I was thinking specifically of his “birthday soup” recipe, so maybe not the right book; but here it is anyway: https://www.amazon.com/Little-Bear-Can-Read-Book/dp/0064440044
Surprised this hasn't been posted yet. You must read them E.B. White's I Want My Hat Back.
You should get him the book Happy Birthday moon! http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0689835442/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1394956628&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40
This is the first time I've ever heard anyone mention a spite fence. I remember reading about it in a Berenstain Bears book like 22 years ago.
