Go with some of the classic Little Golden Books, like "The Poky Little Puppy" or "The Saggy Baggy Elephant".  I'd be hesitant about some of the newer titles, though--there are too many TV and movie tie-ins there for my taste.

This is true.  Stick with the classics.

Razgovory

The Very Hungry Caterpillar was the first book I ever read.  I was like 4 or 5. 
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Scipio

What I speak out of my mouth is the truth.  It burns like fire.
-Jose Canseco

There you go, giving a fuck when it ain't your turn to give a fuck.
-Every cop, The Wire

"It is always good to be known for one's Krapp."
-John Hurt

"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Anything by Eric Carle, though "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see?" is my favorite.

Richard Scary was also a favorite, though for bedtimes that gets a little rough, since it can be pretty visually stimulating. Best saved for after-naps/before dinnertime reading.

Dr Seuss early readers were awesome. I'm thinking "Red Fish, Blue Fish", rather than "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas".

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I currently have mine in storage. :)

To be brought out when you adopt a Namibian baby?
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Gups

The Gruffalo and any of Julia Donaldson's other books.

Peter Rabbit, Panzer Killer.

Really? This from a guy who claims to be Seuss reborn. :rolleyes:
Women want me. Men want to be with me.
