The Jane Yolen poetry collection for little guys is one where as soon as I started turning the pages, my mind started trying to come up with who I could give it to.

"Beginning With Books" is the official name of the organization that puts this list out every year, and I have an especial fondness for it because BWB is based in Pittsburgh (my home). Yes, indeed! Fred Rogers even used to serve on the selection committee back in the day, apparently.<BR/><BR/>I love their choice of baby books, but there are a few volumes from 2006 that I think got overlooked. Most notably Sarah Weeks' <I>Overboard!</I> which is as awesome a baby book as there is. On the other hand, they did include Nikki Grimes' <I>Welcome Precious</I>, which is top on the list of "Books Most Likely to Make a Very Pregnant Brooke Get All Misty-Eyed."<BR/><BR/>Good stuff.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06949700159593843060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15089389.post-68333266327794935512007-06-10T13:05:00.000-04:002007-06-10T13:05:00.000-04:00I'm guilty of giving everyone Higgledy Piggledy Po...I'm guilty of giving everyone Higgledy Piggledy Pop by Maurice Sendak, which is really a bit much for children who are still at the books-as-chew-toys stage.
