OP bridget96
Every single night i include in the selection of bedtime stories one or more of the same books: Where the Wild Things Are (any parent can tell you how immensely cute it is to listen to a 2-year old recite the 'rolled there terrible eyes, showed their terrible claws, etc. passage), Goodnight Moon (kids particularly like the Little Old Lady Whispering Hush part, and also delight in the Goodnight Nobody paradox) and -- my personal favorite -- Max Lucado's "Just In Case You Ever Wonder", which has to be one of the sweetest books ever written.
I am glad for the list Bridget. I will add them to my collection for my future grandchildren.
Just recently I learned of the existence of a child's book, playful and childlike in its subject, but when I read it, I cried. The book is the Runaway Bunny and it was the book read to a dying Emma Thompson by her mentor in the great movie adaptation of the play "WIT".
