Please give me your must have list for infant/toddler books

DD is 15 mos old and she's recently soooooo into books and I'm completely bored with reading the handful that we've got. I need to order more. What are your favorites or your DC's favorites? Preferably those available in board books b/c she's still pretty rough on them. She ripped a page out of chicka chicka boom boom last night. Chat Icon

I have just about every single Sandra Boynton board book and both my kids loved them. They are very simple to read and some of them are so cute!

ITA! They are adorable! Isabella is also into "reading". Any Eric Carle books are great, she loves the books where she can point and "read" things. First 100 words made by Bright Baby, She loves I love you Stinky Face, I Love you Goodnight. HTH

I agree with the Eric Carle books. Evene at four he still oves them, and loves that he can "read" them by himself.
