Questions like this make my day. Thank you for choosing to read to your child. It is one of the most nurturing things you can do for your son or daughter. I am always excited to meet people who read to their children, who love books, and who take their children to story time. As a reader for the Denver Public Library and the Children's Museum of Denver, I have been privileged to read many wonderful books to people young and old over the years. Here are some of my favorites for infants and toddlers:
"Goodnight Moon" by Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd
"The Runaway Bunny" by Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd
"Jamberry" by Bruce Degen
"The Going-to-Bed Book" by Sandra Boynton
"Barnyard Dance" by Sandra Boynton
"But Not the Hippopotamus” by Sandra Boynton
"Oh My Oh My Oh Dinosaurs!" by Sandra Boynton (Honestly, you can't go wrong with a Boynton book)
"The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle
"Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" by Eric Carle
"Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" by Bill Martin Jr., Jon Archambault & Lois Ehlert
"Black on White" by Tana Hoban (like Boynton, you can't go wrong with Hoban)
"White on Black" by Tana Hoban
"One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish" by Dr. Seuss
"It Looked Like Spilt Milk" by Charles G. Shaw
"Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak
"Go Away, Big Green Monster" by Ed Emberly
"One Red Dot" by David A. Carter
"The Napping House" by Audrey Wood and Don Wood
"Good Night, Gorilla" by Peggy Rathmann
"Guess How Much I Love You" by Sam McBratney and Anita Jeram
Whew! Of course, that's just a sampling of the great books you might read to your child. At this age you should look for books with lots of rhyme and repetition--not exclusively, but keep this idea in mind when you're at the book store or library. And remember to talk to your children's librarian. She can make other recommendations that I haven't listed here. And please visit Jim Trelease's web site. The sixth edition of his wonderful book, "The Read-Aloud Handbook," has now been released. He is a huge advocate for reading aloud to children and presents many reasons why it is so critical that we keep reading to our children. He also includes a terrific treasury of books that he considers great stories for reading aloud. Cheers!

Rather than give you a whole list of names of books that I love, I thought you might like a web site that will give you a complete listing.
The web site is for the Texas Library Association. It has reading lists for all different age group so you can use it all through your child's life.Each list focuses on the new books of the year. It also keeps it's lists for previous years available in the archives.
I personally love board books. That way, your child can take ownership of the book without tearing it. Eric Carle is my favorite author. All of his stories were meant to be toughed and manipulated by children. The book layouts are unpredictable and fun for young children. Babies also like books with big photographs. David Ellwand has a great book called Big Book of Beautiful Babies that is a great board book also. My boys always liked looking at pictures of babies.
I am so glad that you are reading to your baby.

Just about anything bright, fun and colorful. Textured books are fun because they can experience them through touch as well. Some of my favorites are the Usborne touchy-feely ones. Check out the link below then click on Babies and Toddlers from the menu on the left.
Simple board books are great too. At this age it doesn't really matter what you read, just read to them and get them used to it so they will grow up excited about reading.

Anything by Sandra Boynton is great. My daughter really enjoyed them from a really early age. Keep up with the reading. Make it a part of your bedtime ritual. You'll be amazed at how much your child will retain and how it will help them learn easier as they grow up.

My little girl likes the little critter books, and the one about the fish that gives away her shinning scales so she can have friends. We also like to read the bernstein bear books. Anything really will work.

Anything that Dr. Seuss wrote, or just make up a story on a whim.
