My favorite is the school years keepsake journal because it's illustrated b S.Britt + it's really a neat way to organize school facts + momentos.

We *heart* Taro Gomi in this house! Doodles and Squiggles are two of our favorites (as well as Everyone Poops, aka "the POOP book"). My boy really loves the Flip-A-Face books from Chronicle too.

By Blogger ramona, at 12/29/2007 3:38 PM  

Our favorite is the Little Finger Puppet Books, whether it's the Ladybug or the Bee, etc. It really captures the kiddies' attention and make them laugh, for some reason. :) Love it!

By Blogger kevnjacks, at 12/29/2007 4:11 PM  

Roo's been on a big Olive the Other Reindeer kick lately but the mini-Masters board books are my fave Chronicle Books for kids.

By Blogger Superdumb Supervillain, at 12/29/2007 5:56 PM  

Our favorite book of the moment is "Spring is Here" by Taro Gomi. My daughter (20 mos) loves the soothing words and pictures so much that now I can even turn off the nightlight and murmur it to her. She will anticipate the page "The storms rage" by making raging noises in her throat, and add sighs for the wind at the right points too.

We love the finger puppet books.. we havent progressed to the others yet

By Blogger Re M., at 12/29/2007 8:13 PM  

I love Mrs. Mustard's Baby Faces! My baby girl goes nuts whenever she sees baby faces...even on diaper boxes! We don't have this book...but now that I know about it, I'll be sure to get it!
Thanks,
Heather

By Blogger Luch, at 12/30/2007 7:24 AM  

I think my favorite books are between Kitchen Playdates:Easy Ideas for ... and pretty much anything in the kids section, but my baby is loving the Little...:Finger Puppet Books, my three year old still loves those.

By Blogger whit, at 12/30/2007 10:19 AM  

MY favorite Chronicle books is "Scary Stories" by Barry Moser, Peter Glassman because I love reading scary, spooky stories, and this one looks really good!

By Blogger dodo, at 12/30/2007 12:13 PM  

I haven't read any of them but Gomi's book look adorable.

By Blogger Martin Klasch, at 12/30/2007 12:16 PM  

Mrs. Mustard's Baby Faces is my 9-month-old's favorite book. I always have it in my diaper bag these days, because looking at the smiling faces nearly always puts her in a good mood. As for me, Chronicle has several great cookbooks that I love, including one that's exclusively Mac & Cheese recipes.

By Blogger Becca, at 12/30/2007 12:37 PM  

My favorite are the Finger Puppet Books (makes my boys giggle!). The Wheels on the Bus with felt play things looks pretty awesome though...

I love the 'Mini Masters' series of board books. We have the Picasso one and love it!

By Blogger Taryn, at 12/30/2007 7:56 PM  

The Cow Finger Puppet Book is my fave.

Olive the other reindeer is our current favorite=). jbubolz-miller@hotmail.com

By Blogger Unknown, at 12/30/2007 9:13 PM  

I like the Giant Pop-Out Pets book. As we homeschool, we are CONSTANTLY on the lookout for books and other materials. :O)

By Blogger LuAnn @ BackPorchervations, at 12/31/2007 6:27 AM  

Cute! I think that "Everybody Poops" is a hoot!

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 12/31/2007 7:23 AM  

I love the Cath Kidston Recipe Organizer

By Blogger Amanda, at 12/31/2007 8:50 AM  

The Mini-Masters boxed set is a big favorite in our home - the verse set to the works of art is beautiful and brilliant!

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 12/31/2007 9:18 AM  

We love so many Chronicle books! Right now my three-year olds favorite is the dictionary of Dance!

I love Eric Carle: A Journal for Baby's First Year. Just the best!!

By Blogger PS, at 12/31/2007 12:20 PM  

I really like the Little Cow Finger Puppet Book.

By Blogger kitty, at 12/31/2007 12:37 PM  

we love Olive, the Other Reindeer at our house!

By Blogger noreen, at 12/31/2007 12:58 PM  

I'm actually a giant Chronicle Books Fan. We love Olive, the Other Reindeer, but their LAB series is also super popular in our house. Their art books are great too.

Please randomly select me!!

By Blogger Brooke, at 1/01/2008 6:15 AM  

We just welcomed our new baby girl and named her Ivy. A few weeks after she was born my best friend passed along a link to 'Ivy and Bean'.

By Blogger Heather, at 1/01/2008 2:04 PM  

The Akers family mom (me) and kids love: Little Hoot, A is for Astronaut, Sparkle & Spin, and Bagel's Lucky Hat. And Buzzy's Balloon. And the Mini Masters Set.
We really love books. Yes indeed!
What a neat contest...thanks!

By Blogger sarah, at 1/01/2008 4:52 PM

My daughter loves her finger puppet book - she just cracks up

By Blogger phxbne, at 1/02/2008 1:35 PM  

The Worst-Case Scenario Handbook series has been a big hit with my family.

The finger puppet books are so much fun for my little ones.

Olive the Other Reindeer was a favorite this year, but before that it would've been Everybody Poops :0)

By Blogger Bebemiqui, at 1/04/2008 8:18 PM  

I really like "Who Loves You, Baby?"

By Blogger Rockin' Mama, at 1/04/2008 8:54 PM  

I think I'll have my 6 year old enter that contest. She is so into drawing and she is really good at it too. Ever since she could hold a crayon she could draw it just comes naturally for her.

It is so hard to pick our favorite books since they are such an important part of our lives. She really enjoys the Spot 7 ones, the DIY, ones and the ones on that teach you how to draw.

Okay, brace yourselves: Favorite:
Everbody Poops! My brother gave it to me for Christmas!

If I win I'll give the wonderful doodle books to his daughter (my only niece).

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 1/04/2008 10:30 PM  

Everybody Poops is by far my most favorite book! It's hilarious!

By Blogger Alexia, at 1/06/2008 1:32 PM  

This looks like a fun book for little ones: Painting with Picasso.

Thanks for holding the giveaway. :)

By Blogger Audra Marie, at 1/06/2008 2:57 PM  

fingerpuppet book, so so sweet!

By Blogger Chelsey, at 1/07/2008 9:41 PM  

Currently we are in love with Good Night, Fairies (Kathleen Hague) and My Friends (Taro Gomi).

We did the Everyone Poops when she was potty training and she thought it was just the best book out there. It was certainly an interesting choice for bed time story every night for 4 months straight!

By Blogger Cricket, at 1/08/2008 3:48 PM  

We love Little Pea! And we sent several Taro Gomi doodle & scribble books out for Christmas presents this year- we are huge fans!

By Blogger Annie, at 1/09/2008 11:33 AM  

we vote for everybody poops.

hollygourley@yahoo.co.uk

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 1/11/2008 7:11 AM  

I like the " Everybody poops" book!

By Blogger Unknown, at 1/11/2008 5:23 PM  

I love Spring is Here by Taro Gomi. Also the SAMi books are fun for little kids.

We love Mommy Hugs and Daddy Kisses! It goes without saying that we hug and kiss our little guy whenever we get the chance, but now that he's more mobile he doesn't like sitting still long enough for us to shower him with affection. So we look forward to story time because that's the only time he'll sit still, and these books give us the perfect opportunity to combine our hugs and kisses with one of his favorite quiet activities.

The Nickelodeon IOU Checkbook: 40 Checks You Can Write to Your Friends is my favorite. It teaches children about giving through kindness not just materially. The actual act of fulfilling the check is very rewarding for the kids.

By Blogger Ghstwritr, at 1/16/2008 11:58 AM  

We have been fans of Gomi's books since Jokin' was just a wee thing. Spring is Here was one of the first board books. My Friends came next. Everyone Poops is a present I give every friend starting potty training with their munchkin. But we cannot go a day without pulling out the Children's Miscellany books or the Spot 7 series. Maybe it's a "five thing," but Jokin' is obsessed!

By Blogger Melanie Martinez, at 1/19/2008 6:44 AM  

Up, Up I Go Growth Chart by Eric Carle looks like it'd be fun!

By Blogger Meagan, at 1/20/2008 4:32 PM  

My daughter is really into the "Spot 7" books right now!

"Mama do you love me" is the sweetest book and I love the illustrations.

My kids have enjoyed Olive, The Other Reindeer. Quirky story and great illustrations.

By Blogger Kristen M., at 1/28/2008 6:20 AM  

My son loves the book "the Animals' Picnic". It's very simple and short, but he loves the rhyming and pointing out all the animals! I love Taro Gomi! jennmckim@hotmail.com
