I borrowed this book from the library thinking that I've read too many children's books to learn a lot of new stuff. I learned not to judge a book by it's cover. There are many types of lists in here for:
picture books
babies
toddler
read alouds
wordless books
fairy tales
color books
shape books
texture books
flap books
interactive books
nursery rhymes
illustrations for favorite songs
bedtime troubles
feelings
discussing birth
baby in the family
waiting for baby
not liking baby
tantrums

As a former elementary school teacher, I love books. Books for adults, books for teens, books for kids, and now that I have a little one, books for babies. My collection of board books isn't very robust, so I loved all of the different lists in this book, which gave me a great starting point for books and authors to check out. I plan on buying my own copy so I can highlight and dog-ear to my heart's content.

An excellent, highly readable guide full of tons of practical hints and advice. Particularly valuable for the book recommendation lists; there's one for nearly every circumstance, from new foods to toilet training to death to going to the doctor. A great roadmap to steer you through the dizzyingly bright colors of the children's book section!

I absolutely love this book. The authors give tons of suggestions on how to use and enjoy books with little ones. They give all sorts of recommended lists by topic, i.e. "The Classics: 25 Picture Books for Every Child's Library" or "Five Books that Trigger, "Again! Again!", or "Simple Books About Baby's Day". I've discovered many great books from their recommendations. This is a book I pick up over and over again for new suggestions when I'm taking my little ones to the library or buying a gift...more

Lots of good ideas for books to read with your young children. It promotes reading while at the same time recognizes that tv, computer, etc. are a big part of today's society and can be a good thing in moderation and with parental involvement. Loved the lists and lists of books.

I really like this book! It has lists of suggested books for all developmental levels and even by topic. It also includes lots of anecdotes from parents that make it a fun read.
Excellent guide for choosing, reading and loving books together. I
especially liked the accompanying activity suggestions in art, music,
hands-on, TV, video, etc.

A great book to share with parents and caregivers--warm, practical, and nonjudgemental.
I love this book! Very informative!
