    for the chinese borthers one, I was going to suggest "rikitikitango"...that is a good rhythm read aloud.

    Another great read aloud is :have you seen my potty?

    by i like "the mole who knew it was none of his business" crack up!

    all the books mentioned so far love 'em

    and i agree that book makes you cry - esp. when pregnant!

    My daughter loves the where's wally books (not reallyreading books though)

    Where Is The Green Sheep was given to us as a gift and it's just so cute! Can't wait until DD can actually understand when we read it, ha ha.

    I absolutely love Jeanne Baker - Where The Forest Meets The Sea and Window are huge favourites here. Gorgeous books and great messages in them about the environment.

    There is a sequel out to Window, called Belonging. The boy in Window grows up and has a family of his own.
