I was half expecting to see my favorite, "First the Egg."
Or, how about - "Oh The Places You'll Go!"

Olivia is my almost-4-year-old's soul mate. A favorite at our house is Tar Beach, a surprise hit that I got at a second hand book shop when she was 2 and we were planning to move to New York City. It was part of my plan to introduce her to her new urban environment through books, and it is still a favorite. My 18 month old daughter just started bringing it to me to read to her.
My oldest also loves all things Shel Silverstein, including Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros, The Missing Piece, and The Missing Piece Meets the Big O, as well as the Giving Tree.
