If you’re looking for a bit of mystery for the little ones in your life, The Gifted Grasshopper has the perfect solution! Moose Tracks, by one of our favorite authors, Karma Wilson, is part game, part mystery. This rhyming, quirky story is filled with eccentric characters.
The narrator, who goes unseen until the final spread, finds evidence on every page that someone has been in his house because he detects moose tracks everywhere. He recalls a visit with a chipmunk who made fudge sundaes and a goose who played hokey-pokey with him. "But who left all those moose tracks?"

OUr favorties right now (as they change frequently)--
My two year old loves Alice in Wonderland (her name is Alice) and my 5 1/2 year old loves Cam Jansen Mysteries.
My favorite book to read with my preschooler is "Going on a Bear Hunt." We both have it memorized now!
my 3 year old daughter loves to "read" to me. our favorites are from the author sandra boynton. (and they were my 15 year old sons favorites too when he was this age!)
My very favorite read aloud book to my children (and boy is it hard to pick a favorite) is Alexander and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst. It is great for expressive reading and speaks to everyone about how some days are just stinky. My oldest child is 13 and even now, I can look at her and say "Some days are like that" and she will finish with "even in Australia". It usually producing a slight smile and a shrug of the shoulders.
My 2 year olds favorite books to read with us are currently Richard Scarry's Cars & Trucks and Things that Go. He also loves the book, Kiss Good Night by Amy Hest.
My favorite is Rodger Podger's Upside Down Day.
My favorite is Goodnight Moon. I remember my grandmother reading it to me as a child. I love sharing the same book with my boys.
Our favorite books right now include "Goodnight Moon" and a children's book of Bible stories. Both of my children know "Goodnight Moon" by heart, and they can "read" it to me now!
With three children of various ages, the favorites change frequently. But Goodnight Moon was a favorite for all of them.
I like to read Chicken Soup With Rice to Roo!
Our favorites at the moment are:
Tiger Can't Sleep by S.J Fore
My Two Hands My Two Feet by Rick Walton - she loves that this book is two books in one and that if you flip it over it is a different story on the other side.
Gossie series of books by Olivier Dunrea -
Our favorite book to read when my daughter was younger was Pajama Time by Sandra Boynton. The rhyming text is so catchy, that everyone is saying or singing the words by the end of the book. Now that she is almost 4 our new favorite is The Boy Who Grew Flowers by Jen Wojtowicz (published by Barefoot Books). It is a creative story about kindness and acceptance.

my favorite book to read to my six-month-old is probably Sandra Boynton's "But Not the Hippopotamus" :)
For my almost 3 yr old twin boys, our favorite read aloud book (currently as it does change from week to week) is Little Pea and Pancakes for Breakfast.
My granddaughter loved me to read her the Junie B. Jones books; now that she can read they are still her favorite. She reads to me now.
My daughter most often requests "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" or one of the Five Little Monkeys books. My son has just started reading to me, so his first book is "Green Eggs and Ham."
our favorites book(s) to read are anything by Dr. Seuss: ava rose is almost 3 and loves the rhyming sounds of the words-- and makes up her own words to use in many of her daily activities! from 'hop on pop' to 'green eggs and ham' ... we heart Dr. Seuss!
Our most favorite book is "Seven Silly Eaters" by Mary Ann Hoberman. It always makes my son laugh and laugh!
My favorite book to read with my son is Llama Llama Mad at Mama. The pictures are beautiful, and the story is just hilarious. My son (he's three) has the book memorized, and when he throws a fit in the store like the little Llama in the story, I can quote the Mama from the story and he starts laughing and forgets his tantrum.
One of our favorites is "The Dot" by Peter Reynolds. I love what it "teaches" about creativity!
Well, my 6 year old is a book fanatic, and we are constantly reading.....she is probably reading at a 2nd or 3rd grade level, it's fabulous (but hard to keep up the book collection)...anyhow, we recently got a great new book, Pinkalicious, and we loved it!!!! I actually blogged about it here:
http://noahandtaytay.blogspot.com/2008/02/pink-is-our-favorite-color.html Really really hopin' I win this one, I love your store though, and I think I might head over there now and let my daughter pick out a few books!!!
My girls love books and their favorites always change! Right now they love The Gruffalo and Dream Hop...very cute books! I think they maybe my new favorites as well!
Carrie
