With the holidays coming up I have been asked a couple time which books Max has and what we would like. I found a list put together by the NEA in 2007 and thought it would be a good place to start! In the comments section I will list out what Max already has and it would be great if I could get a list for Evan, Baby Morgan, Chloe and Gavin. I know this just scratches the surface but at least it is a start.

Max Has:
- The Giving Tree
- Green Eggs and Ham
- Good Night Moon
- I Love You Forever
- The Cat In The Hat
- Harry Potter Series (yeah... for Max)
- The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

- Hop on Pop
Not on the list but still worth mentioning by Sandra Boynton:
Moo Baa La La La
Blue Hat, Green Hat
Doggies
A to Z
Snuggle Puppy
Hmmm...Chloe may be past the point of listing her books. We have a bookshelf and two large tubs (about a foot or so deep) full of books. Yes, her momma is a teacher, can you tell? But we will welcome any and all. She is into actual story books now and detailed illustrations. We are also learning our shapes and letters. She has 1 - 10 down, but books that count higher might be great! We have a lot of Dr Suess and Sandra Boynton.
Does she have the majority of books on that list?

I am going to piggyback on Cheryl's post. We do not have any from Cheryl's list except, Click Clack Moo and the Little Engine. We also have loads of books, but welcome all new ones. Some of my favs on that list that we do not have are The Empty Pot by Demi, any of the Seuss books, Harry Potter books.
I would like to find some game cards or something like that for Evan if either of you come across them.
