I love children’s books too. My personal favourites are The Tiger Who Came to Tea and the Paddington books. I also have a fondness for Angelina Ballerina, especially the one where she goes to the library.

I have a tradition (or had - no babies in my life for a long time now) of getting two books for a child and her parents: The Velveteen Rabbit and Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein. These are books that I always loved reading out loud and could do so way before the baby understands a word.

I have needed a balm for my brain after the election. Thank you for the suggestions. And anything by Sandra Boynton is delightful for littles. My younger sister loved “The Going To Bed Book.”
