Favorite picture books?

[conuly]

Something appropriate for young toddlers to preschool kids, thanks. I want, of course, the babies to be readers. Right now, I'm confined mostly to board books for them, but when they're a little bigger they can have actual storytimes with adults, right? And for that, I need picture books. Mine, from what I recall, were:

Where the Wild Things Are
Green Eggs and Ham
The Very Hungry Caterpillar (comes in board book form)

and I think it's never to early to plan ahead. So, start posting. Fond memories? Nightmares? Just a thought? Whatever, I wanna know. Because I'm just that into spoiling my babies.

Hmm, it's hard to choose something that others haven't picked.

Basically anything by Eric Carle I would recommend. The two books I liked the most were "A House for Hermit Crab (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0689848943/ref=pd_sim_books_2/002-4171264-4902457?v=glance&s=books)" and "Animals, Animals (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0399217444/qid=1078510707/sr=1-16/ref=sr_1_16/002-4171264-4902457?v=glance&s=books)."

Both my mother and my sisters loved the book "Little Fur Family (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/results.asp?WRD=little+fur+family&userid=2ZZ31J8VYG&cds2Pid=946)." My older sister actually bought a whole case of them and gives them out to her friends that are having baby showers.

The last thing I can think of recommending is Helen Piers' "The Mouse Book." I can't really find an adequate link to buy or read a review of it, so I'll just tell you that my boyfriend, his son, and myself all love it. The most interesting part about it is that the pictures are actual photographs of the mouse doing things, with a simple narration text at the bottom.
