children's books

I love, love, LOVE children's books. I have for as long as I can remember. And now I have an excuse to buy them. I started reading to Willa the day we came home from the hospital and haven't stopped yet. Almost daily, I'll take a stack of my books, sit in my rocking chair, put Willa in my lap and read the whole stack of books to her. She seems to enjoy it and I LOVE it.

I have discovered two places to buy cheap used books.

(1) Savers on the corner of Reynolds and Heatherdowns in Toledo has a great used children's book section. About once a month, I go in and go through all of the children's books. They cost $0.69 a piece. I have found almost perfect copies of: Dear Zoo (board book); Goodnight Moon (board book); Brown Bear, Brown Bear (board book); Hungry Caterpillar (board book); Millions of Cats; Where the Wild Things Are; Harold and the Purple Crayon (hard cover); Madeline; Freight Train; Ferdinand (hard cover); Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day; Animals Should Definitely Not Wear Clothing; Olivia Counts (board book); Olivia’s Opposites (board book); Cows that Type; Giggle, Giggle, Quack; and Duck for President to name a few. (those are the ones I can remember right now)

(2) half.com. It's better than amazon.com to buy used books because shipping costs less. I just purchased Drummer Hoff, Five Chinese Brothers, and Tikki Tikki Tembo today. I can’t wait for them to arrive. They were only $0.75 a piece plus shipping. Shipping is $3.49 for the first item and $1.89 for additional items from the same seller. Amazon.com shipping is $3.99 per item.

What are your favorite children's books that I should be on the lookout for?
