How coincidental!

[conuly]

Here I am trying to decided between Boyntons to give to a friend for her baby (and heroically resisting an urge to buy ALL THE BOYNTONS) and she's up on Metafilter. Like many of the commenters I can, fully a decade and change after the nieces outgrew them, still recite a several Boyntons entirely by heart. Which I actually up and did shortly after deciding to send this bookish present.

(Psst - which are your top three Boynton books?)

Being a non-parent, non-aunt whose friends mostly move out of the city when they have kids, I have no experience with her books, but I have saved my pair of Boynton mugs from college, and within the past few weeks, just went on an eBay/Etsy spree rebuying vintage Boynton buttons with cartoon cats holding balloons . . .

Sorry for the segue, but it's oddly coincidental.
