The Adventures of Taxi Dog -- a charming rhyming story about an adopted dog.

Dinosaur Bob and His Adventures with the Family Lazardo - The story is pretty simple. I'm mostly in love with William Joyce's artwork. This edition includes the lyrics to The Ballad of Dinosaur Bob at the end. We sang it each time reading the book and I eventually bought a fairly rare stuffed Dinosaur Bob off eBay (set up a search notification because it doesn't come up very often). Here's some school kids singing The Ballad of Dinosaur Bob, although they murder their pronunciation of Mesozoic (mess-o-zoe-ic). When Bob 'stamps his mighty feet' in the song, you pound the floor with your hands.

Too Many Frogs -- This was a story I really got into for voicing the frustrated rabbit who likes spending his nights alone, but the overly friendly frog keeps returning each night to enjoy storytime. There's the frog's knock-knock-knocketing at Rabbit's door I always pounded out, and I really worked at sounding exasperated.

Any book by Graeme Base -- for the illustrations. Try Animalia or The Eleventh Hour.

Dog Breath by Dav Pilkey (of Captain Underpants fame). You may find similarities between this and the more popular Walter the Farting Dog, but Dog Breath is the original and better smelly dog book.

Cars and Trucks and Things that Go or any other Richard Scarry book. The bigger the format, the better. This one showcases a ton of different vehicles on each double page with a recurring theme of finding Dingo Dog, who is being chased by a police car. And there's 'Golden Bug' who is hiding somewhere on each page in a vehicle.

So there are so many great books on this thread! A lot that I have, and some I will look for, but before I give my own list, I wanted to suggest that you hit up your local book sales either with your kids or without to find amazing books for cheap! I use https://www.booksalefinder.com to find booksales in my area. You can find so many children's books in great condition for super cheap. From $0.25 to at the most $2, and most sales have a Fill A Bag sale on the last day! I could spend hours looking through all the books! Plus most of the sales are supporting charity (schools, libraries, scholarships), it's really a win/win for everyone! I've been able to amass quite a collection of over 1,200 books in a short amount of time thanks to these sales (As well as thrift stores).

​

Books that I don't see posted yet that I recommend:

  1. Smitten by David Gordon - Just got this at a book sale yesterday and I'm in love!
  2. Cleonardo, The Little Inventor - Sweet story about inventing and spending time with your parents.
  3. Pssst! by Adam Rex - Amazing illustrations, funny and absurd story.
  4. I Want My Hat Back By Jon Klassen - Funny book, don't want to spoil the ending.
  5. Frog and Toad Storybook Treasury by Arnold Lobel - My favorite children books of all time! I have them all in separate large hardcovers, but this book has all 4 books in one, which is great for reading on the go!
  6. Who Needs Donuts? by Mark Alan Stamaty - I found this book from this Reddit Group, and if you read the reviews so many are from people who loved the book as kids. The story is nice but simple, but the illustrations are crazy detailed and filled with jokes and weirdness. Reading the story takes a few minutes, but admiring the artwork details can take hours.
  7. McFig & MCFly: A Tale of Jealousy, Revenge, and Death (with a Happy Ending) - I love this book, but most of the people I show it to are put off by the deaths in the book. If that doesn't bother you, I definitely think it's a keeper with an important lesson.
  8. Billy's Booger by William Joyce - I love all of William Joyce's books, but this is by far my favorite. Autobiographical story about the author and how a school assignment changed the way he felt about writing.
  9. The Circus Ship by Chris Van Dusen - Cute story about Circus Animals that accidentally escape from the circus and end up in a small town. I would also recommend Randy Riley's Really Big Hit by the same author.
  10. "Stand Back," Said the Elephant, "I'm Going To Sneeze!" by Patricia Thomas - This is another thrift store gem I found at a book sale/thrift store. If you enjoy a well written rhyming style, (without cheating and making up words like a certain Dr.), as well as a cute story with hilarious illustrations, this is the book for you!

    Books that I see others have posted that I want to add my vote to:

  11. Chris Van Allsburg books - My favorite is The Sweetest Fig, remember it from my childhood, but it's like an episode of The Twilight Zone in picture book form, so be warned.
  12. Imogene's Antlers
  13. Hug Machine by Scott Campbell - LOVE this book! Loved it so much I bought the board book too so I can start reading it to my kids before they could walk. Believed they learned the word "hug" from this book!
  14. There's Something There! Three Bedtime Classics - I saw that you posted how much you liked There's Something In My Attic, just wanted to let you know there's a book of all 3 stories combined in one book. (Got for cheap at a thrift store)
  15. Dinosaur Bob and His Adventures with the Family Lazardo - Great book, agree the illustrations are what makes it.
  16. Millions of Cats - I also recommend The Funny Thing by the same author, Wanda Gag, but Millions of Cats is the best of her books, in my opinion.

    Let me know which of these books you like and I will recommend more!
