Sandra Boynton

Sandra Boynton is one of our favorite authors. She writes melodic, wonderful books for young children. They are enjoyable to read and sing. Our ten month old and four year old love to hear and read them. Below, I've compiled a list of our favorites.

"Moo, Baa, La La La" and "Barnyard Dance!" are two of our favorite Boynton books. Their rhythms are catchy and our daughters love them!

"But Not the Hippopotamus" is an endearing story about a shy hippopotamus that slowly becomes more adventurous. "Snuggle Puppy" is a wonderful board book about a parent's love for their baby. It has been fun to see how differently people "sing" this book. My husband is always out of tune, but the kids still love it.

The above two books are different from the rest; They are CD books. We own Philadelphia Chickens and it is great for long car rides when we can't read to our four year old. I have heard great reviews for "Dog Train", but we don't own it.

"Oh My Oh My Oh Dinosaurs!" is another sing-song book about opposites. "Pajama Time" is a nighttime staple for our 10 month old along with the classic "Goodnight Moon".
