A Child’s Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson. And a save-for-later favorite in our house was Paddle-to-the-Sea by Holling C. Holling.
I give an infant friendly album that is designed to insert photos of relatives and the last page is a mirror. Amazon search called it family and friends album.
Along the same lines of the photo book, there is a make your own where you send in pictures of family members and the book is printed with the photos. It is nice for the little ones to see and name family, especially when some are far away. I would like to make one for my grand daughter and grad daughter to be, but I need to collect pictures of the DIL and SIL family as I don’t want it to look like it is all about us!!
The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear (hardcover or board book) is my go to book.
Any “predictable story books” like Brown Bear Brown Bear, What do you See?
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, If You Give a Mouse a Muffin, A House is House for Me
