bean's favourite books - as of 2 ys old

sheepishly, i have to admit that my biggest extravagance is books for the bean. she has a lot of books, some presents from friends and relatives, but the bulk from mommy (not even daddy).

while there is a big shelf of books the bean does tend to make beelines for a select few, although some days she can go through nearly every single book on a shelf.

here are her current favourites:
- the p.b. bear series (written by lee davis and now out of print)
- dr. seuss's abc
- dr. seuss's 10 apples up on top
- eric carle's the very hungry caterpillar
- the spot series
- ginger (by charlotte voake)

hot on the heels of the above:
- karen katz's lift-the-flap books
- dear zoo
- where the wild things are
- the snail and the whale
- we're going on a bear hunt
- bouncing ben and other rhymes
- mog the forgetful cat
...most lift-the-flap and pop-up types are pretty irresistible to the bean.
