Congratulations! :D

A complete Beatrix Potter, James Herriot's children's stories (seriously, it's wonderful stuff for children), the whole Harry Potter series in hardcover (seriously, it'll get read enough to warrant it), a version of the Wind in the Willows with the original color plates, maybe this one , also splurge on the entire Swallows and Amazons series. Every child should read that or have it read to them and they'll still read them as they get older.

Board books :

• Bright Baby series by Roger Priddy is the best set of "first books" / "learn words" books. Animals (yellow book), colors (pink) are two of the best.
  
• Leslie Patricelli: Baby Happy Baby Sad No No Yes Yes and yummy yucky, huggy kissy are also good. (note, do not just read the words, use them for discussion of the pictures)
  
• guess how much I love you
  
• [Barnyard Dance!] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1563054426/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_sUXKzbXMP2DV2) and others by Sandra Boynton
  
• Goodnight Moon by Margaret wise brown
  
  Picture books:
  
  
• Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site (also, the train book is lame, skip it)
  
• mommy do you love me by Jeanne Willis
  
• The Maggie b by Irene haas
  
• [tough chicks] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003V4B4TI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_eyXKzbV4CF825) by cece meng
  
• sweet briar goes to school (and goes to camp) by karma wilson
  
• [Move It!: Motion, Forces and You] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1553377591/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6IXKzbJ00G260)
  
  Early readers:
  
  
• Elephant and Piggie series by Mo Willems (bird on your head, broke my trunk, play the trumpet are faves)
  
• Mr Putter and Tabby series by Ryland (faves are paint the porch, feed the fish, run the race)
  
• Harry the Dirty Dog
  
• Ready-Set-Grow series by Joy Wilt Berry (eg Mine and Yours: A Children's Book About Rights and Responsibilities ) are the most impactful series of books I have ever encountered. They cover emotional and social issues and life skills in a simple, clear way with silly illustrations, and were the major contributors to my emotional maturity.
  
  Chapter books to read together in early elementary:
  
  
• The first three little house books: little house in the big woods, little house on the prairie, farmer boy. Should be read together to discuss issues like racial prejudice/native American displacement, and discipline in the 1800s, but they are super valuable books to understanding how pioneers and farmers lived. The later books are for more mature kids, due to the hardships the family goes through.
  
• EB White books : Charlotte's web, trumpet of the swan
  
  Chapter books for later elementary or middle school:
  
  
• in general, Newbury award books
  
• Island of the blue dolphins
  
• The slave dancer
  
• my side of the mountain (high reading level due to archaic style)
  
• The False Prince Jennifer Nielsen
  
• The Shamer's Daughter series by Lene Kaaberbol is a great series to use for thinking about compassion and responsibility for those we care about, how guilt and shame require the guilty person to agree with an assessment that their actions were wrong; truth, lies, and stories; assumptions and false accusations; and other ways in which right and wrong may be determined.... But it is a very exciting and compelling story. It does have some cursing (damn, hell) and abusive behavior (brother beating and calling his tween sister a whore, evil ruler locking people up and feeding to a dragon), so check for maturity. But it is an absolutely amazing series that I can not recommend enough.
  
  Am posting on phone so will be submitting and editing. This will be a long post.

Rollo Rabbit is from Richard Scarry, perhaps it is this? http://www.amazon.com/Richard-Scarrys-Watch-Rabbit-Step-Into-Reading/dp/0679886508

This is "non denominational" and kid friendly - https://www.amazon.com/Ruperts-Tales-Wheel-Beltane-Lammas/dp/0764336894/ref=asc_df_0764336894/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312057607871&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14973546573740625440&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=t&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9002038&hvtargid=pla-491414909882&psc=1.

The first few are Chahta but there are various tribes depicted, some available in both English and the given tribal language!

  Some tribes have lists online or books available in their online stores, as well, so if you’re looking for anything specific you might try that.

I would suggest picking up this book. It helped me explain seasons to my 2 year old.

Books my son has loved:

• "That Rabbit Belongs to Emily Brown". Queen Gloriana the Third tries every trick in the book to get her hands on Emily Brown's rabbit Stanley, but Emily Brown isn't giving her best friend away, not even for all the toys in the world. This is my son's favorite book ever. Great story, both main characters are female. The text is just right - a few challenging words/phrases which are repeated often, the rest easily understood by 3-4 yr olds. Illustrations are funny and awesome.
  
  
• "Falling for Rapunzel" - A fractured fairy tale (my favorite kind) in rhyme. The prince thinks Rapunzel needs his help and rides to her tower to rescue her, but she keeps mishearing his request to "let down her hair". Text is a bit challenging for 3-4 yr olds, and you might need to stop to explain the meanings of a few words, but my son loves the rhyme and LOLs a lot at the story. Nice illustrations too!
  
  
• "Where the Wild Things Are" - a classic, I'm sure you are familiar with it. When we read this book, I make sure the wild things are often "she". :)
  
  
• Several Dr. Seuss books, such as Green Eggs and Ham, and The Cat in the Hat. Some Dr. Seuss books are boring for my son, especially the ones with a LOT (just pages and pages) of nonsense words - entertaining for a bit but it's a chore to get through the book. We like the ones with a story. With Dr. Seuss, you need to be extra vigilant about gender of the characters, there are almost no female characters in his books. In our home when we read, I make the Cat in the Hat female :) all "she" where it says "he", and so on.
  
  
• any "Dora the Explorer" book. Great for characters of color. I highly recommend Dora in general, it's perfect for 3 yr olds. My son's outgrowing her now that he's 4, though, it's a bit too simple for him.
  
  
• recently we've added a bunch of nonfiction books about volcanoes, planets, dinosaurs, etc. When we read them there's always a discussion of stuff like "what's going to happen if we go to Pluto?" and so forth. Great time to inject diversity education: our astronauts are often disabled!

Well, what I had in mind was...

Add this to your wishlist. Keep it there for at least a week. Write a note next to it stating how much you love bunnies.

But that was for when you're sober. I'm not sure if that's really good enough for a drunk Kim.

[Watch your step, Mr Rabbit!](http://www.amazon.com/Richard-Scarrys-Watch-Rabbit-Step-Into-Reading/dp/0679886508 "Mr. Rabbit's feet are stuck in cement and all of his friends are trying to get him out. Follow their hilarious hijinks in this delightful tale of what happens when you don't pay attention to where you are going. ")

Here's a few that my almost 4 year old girl loves these days:

Sector 7 - Kind of like a beginners sci-fi picture book

Mr. Rabbit and the Lovely Present - A simple little tale, beautifully told about a girl and a rabbit (Maurice Sendak illustrated)

Paddle to the Sea - Little boy carves a canoe and sends it off to the sea. This book follows its journey along the Great Lakes to the sea. Also a great NFB short film.

When Louis Armstrong taught me Scat - Cute story for music lovers.

Sylvester and the Magic Pebble - A young donkey finds a stone that grants wishes.

Click clack moo - Cows find a typewriter and start making demands on the farmer. Kind of an introduction to collective bargaining.

Rainbow kitty should be friends with Quiet Bunny.

Quiet Bunny? http://www.amazon.com/Quiet-Bunny-Lisa-McCue/dp/1454908599/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411400405&sr=8-1&keywords=quiet+bunny

I have only heard a few of the Rupert the Rabbit stories, but consider this. https://www.amazon.com/Ruperts-Tales-Wheel-Beltane-Lammas/dp/0764336894

Hello! I just finished my first kids book for toddlers called “Bunny in the winter.” Maybe fits what you’re looking for:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1734151218/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_eAD4DbDNZ7EPG

https://www.amazon.com/Feelings-10-Book-Collection/dp/1760685372/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=The+feelings+series&qid=1574553394&sr=8-1

The Feeling's Series. They're really good books, dealing with different emotions in a kid friendly way.

Oh, I'm so glad that I could help! I'll think about what other books might be helpful for him more broadly - I personally find picture books to be an incredible way of processing things. Off the top of my head, I might also suggest The Rabbit Listened, which is a fantastic demonstration of how sometimes just listening is more helpful than trying to "fix" everything, and When Sadness is at Your Door, which is similarly about just being mindful and sitting with feelings of sadness rather than pushing them away. I also LOVE the book Visiting Feelings, which frames emotions as visitors to be curious about and learn from. And he might particularly resonate with the book Small Things, which is a wordless picture book almost more like a graphic novel (so might seem a bit less childish to him), that really dramatically shows how we all have our demons we struggle with even if they're not clearly visible. I'll let you know if I think of more! :)

Mo Willems is a good and prolific children's book author. His titles tend to be pretty fun and the animals have very expressive faces (and body posture) even though the style is more cartoon then realistic. I would specifically suggest the Elephant and Piggie books (Scroll down they're not the first section in this link). Elephant and Piggie are very expressive, the whole book is picture and talk bubbles (so all dialouge), and they are fundamentally find friends if childish and emotional. Some recommendations: Should I Share My Ice Cream?, Can I Play Too?,and My Friend is Sad. But all of them I've read (about half) are pretty good, it varies a bit.

A really good little kids emotion book we have is: The Rabbit Listened (a toddler makes a big block masterpiece, crows knock it over, and they go through all the feelings with various animals, finally the rabbit just listens and is close, allowing the kid to actually experience all the feelings without being pushed and then is ready to try again/rebuild).

What about Daniel Tiger? The show might be good for them if you watch it with them and talk about things. It's actually for preschoolers but depending how delayed your 7 year old is it might be good for him too? It focuses a lot on preschooler type problems with a huge focus on emotional regulation/feelings. Also playing nicely, ect. It's the new generation of Mr. Rodgers (literally too, it's the kids of the puppets and stuff from his little town) and follows well what experts actually recommend in dealing with kids. It has lots of little songs, long versions and then single lines they sing a couple times during the episode with the main message. If your kids like the show you can use these in your daily life. Things like "Grown ups come back to you" (not liking drop off at school/parent leaving somewhere), "It's okay to be sad sometimes," "When something's bad, turn it around and find something good" (handling disappointment), Find a way to play together, Calming Down "Give a Squeeze Nice and Slow, take a breath and let it go", "When we do something new, first we'll talk about what we'll do" (good for kids who need new things/routine changes talked about), "You Should Try New Foods Because They Might Taste Good," ect. There are several books (more and less wordy) based off Daniel Tiger episodes. I think they have good messages but they aren't super well written for adults, just like episode summaries with pictures. We have the five minutes story collection and my toddler likes it. But I do think the actual songs in the episodes are helpful we just started watching those together. Still, good bet it will have feelings or social skills or waiting or something like that if picking out a book.

The Peter Rabbit collection :-)

*Yeah, bad pun.

House of Tribes and Frost dancers by same author.

Thurian saga (6 book series) A rather fully realized world.

Hunters Unlucky

The way of things.

This is the book. The bunny is so happy but then goes to sleep in his tree. It's a pretty steep narrative drop at the end.
