>> Hello Gloria,
>>
>> We read a ton around here, but here are some books which are our
>> favorites.
>> They are also easily bought at Seedlings
>>
>> http://www.seedlings.org
>>
>> or National Braille Press
>>
>> http://www.nbp.org
>>
>>
>>
>> Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? (Great for teaching colors,
>> animals, etc. I actually tried to hide this book for brief periods
>> from my son because he loved it so much and wanted me to read it over and
> over.
>> After about the tenth time during a day, I would try to slip it out of
>> his sight at naptime. Don't worry, he always found it quickly, and the
>> reading
>> continued!)
>>
>> Guess How Much I Love You (I love this one because it's actually about
>> a rabbit dad putting his rabbit son to bed and talking about how much
>> they love each other. So many books are about moms and their kids that
>> I was happy to find such a great book about a relationship between a
>> dad and his
>> son.)
>>
>> The Very Hungry Caterpillar
>>
>> The Very Busy Spider
>>
>> The Very Quiet Cricket
>>
>> Touch and Feel Puppy, (Or any type of touch and feel book)
>>
>> Goodnight Moon
>>
>> Five Little Monkeys Jumping On the Bed
>>
>> Anything by Dr. Seuss
>>
>> Oh, my goodness, I could go on and on! I guess I would suggest
>> sticking to board books when your daughter is really little, but there
>> is nothing wrong with having slightly longer books that are paper that
>> you read to her and don't let her touch until she can be careful.
>> There are so many wonderful books out there. I actually received a
>> couple of gift certificates to Seedlings for shower gifts, which was
>> great because many of the books I got with those certificates have
>> lasted through three children, and are still in good shape.
