We read it every night! I heard that the author insists upon pronouncing the 'K', but my husband and I just can't seem to consistently get our brains to do it! I also love reading books to my kids that have their names in them. I've done multiple amazon searches to make sure I have them all. They seem to dig books that might just be about them!

I've read it hundreds of times to the babies I know, and it still cracks me up. My favorite book for little kids is Hippos Go Berserk (Sandra Boynton).

I'll have to check it out. I hear you on the love books. I actually do kind of like "Guess How Much I Love you" -- but again, largely because it is playful, not maudlin. There's a whole world out there! I always make sure to read the name of the author and illustrator for Che, so he eventually learns the importance of writers and artists. Sheep in a Jeep looks fun!

Maudlin is the perfect adjective for those. When I worked in a preschool and as a nanny, I would cringe when kids asked for those books to be read to them. Wow, I feel like I just came out somehow for confessing this. One of my favorites is Sheep in a Jeep. I’ve always been afraid to admit it, but I’m also not a fan of the “I Love You” type books.
