Dr. Seuss books often have a good message. (Sneetches, Lorax, Grinch, Horton Hears a Who, MacElliots Pool,) Was that too obvious?

There are a lot of picture books out there that are based on songs and my daughter really loves those because we can sing them together.

Horton Hears a Who i s a good one (“A person’s a person no matter how small”), though it does have some minor violence and reference to death in it.
I really like Seven Silly Eaters, both for the rhyme and its pro-family message. It’s about a mom who has seven kids (“Peter, Lucy, and young Jack/ had another brother, Mack” and “Before another year was through/, who came along? Why, Mary Lou!”) and drives herself crazy trying to cater to each child’s remarkable pickiness in food preferences before they stumble upon a solution. It’s definitely not an example in perfect parenting, but the illustrations are priceless and it does make it look like a joy to be in a large family.
The Alfie and Annie Rose books are sweet; they have beautiful illustrations and the kids do things like build forts and play outdoors.
If You Find a Rock is a sort of a non-fiction book about rocks, but I like the emphasis on nature and exploring outdoors and the rhythmic reading.
Gerda Muller illustrated four books on the four seasons that don’t have any words but beautiful illustrations of things like kids ice skating in the park, feeding lambs in the spring, splashing at the beach, and collecting acorns in autumn. My little ones love going through them with me and talking about all the different things people do throughout the seasons.
We love books, and I have so many favorites for the older kids (six and up, too), but these one’s I’d definitely have in my library for youngsters.

“Pooh’s Thinking Spot” books explore scientific concepts–animal building, gravity, where the sun goes at night–in a very simple, fun way.
“Because God Gave Us You” is a sweet book about a baby polar bear asking his mommy about how he came to be born. (Contains no information about the process of conception or delivery.)
Finally, The Cat in the Hat Dictionary by PD Eastman is an excellent book to carry around with you; it’s got lots of pages, is visually interesting, doesn’t have to be read in order, and is nice for starting to recognize words in a fun, low-key fashion. Great for waiting in doctor’s offices.
