Children's Books discussion

As of Friday morning at 12:39 AM, I have a brand new grandson! This, of course, has me looking at books for babies. His big brother has all of the usuals from 8 years ago - Goodnight Moon, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, etc, plus some personal favorites like Joy! and When Mama Comes Home Tonight . But I've been wondering if anyone knows of any really great ones that have been published in the last 7 years. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Abagail! Just think - another grandchild with whom I can read my favorite picture books!

Soothing stories for sleep time, beautiful, bright pictures for awake time, a little of everything! I'll check out the ones you've listed. Fun!

I love that one too, Chandra. Thanks!

Congratulations!That is wonderful! My baby's favorite books have always featured babies. Here are a few of her favorites. The first is her favorite as well as her baby cousin's. Baby Faces
Baby's Colors Baby! Talk!

and there is one more she looks at over and over that isPanda in the Park

Let's see if this works I tried responding this will be the third time and it didn't post.
Thank you, I will have to look into Bunny and Me. I noticed all three new babies in my family love books and they all have their favorites. I wonder what it is about Panda in the Park Kaylee loves so much? Izzy saw something in Mommy Loves Me.=)

Thanks for all of the suggestions! Crystal, Grandson #1 absolutely adored Baby Faces when he was a baby! And we wore out more lift-the-flap books that I can count!

Oooh bunny books. Although it is not recently published (copyright 2000), our all time favorite is Bunny's Noisy Book. The illustrations are adorable and filled with lots of different animals sounds to make as reading.

These suggestions are fun. I like baby book ideas.

There is nothing like the little fingers and toes of infants and this title captures that in a multi cultural way. It is a peaceful and gorgeous title in my opinion.Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes

Thanks for the suggestion Janet!
