Also, I highly recommend a resource book called Baby Read-Aloud Basics by Blakemore and Ramirez. I love Mo Willems' Piggie & Elephant series. Just read Watch Me Throw the Ball!

We love Mo here at our place. Got our first book at Comic Con in NY this year, where Mo was signing books, and haven't looked back. Atm we own all the Pigeon books except The Pigeon has Feelings too, all the Piggie & Elephant (the new one came out just the other day and yep, already have it), both Knuffle Bunny books, Edwina, and his Naked Mole Rat book as well. Still need Leonardo, but that's next on the list. My 4 1/2 year old ADORES the books, and frankly, has expanded his sight word vocabulary incredibly thanx to the Pigeon, Piggie and Gerald. We take turns reading the characters lines and I have caught him after lights out with a flashlight and one of Mo's books under his blanket. And I have to admit, I let him get away with it *grin* Mo!

My daughter really wants to let him drive the bus. That makes two mental_floss staffers who are big fans of the Pigeon series. My daughter really wants to let him drive the bus.
