I like Jamberry too.
There are lots of fun board books available. I do think the Monster at the End of the Book is still in print.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

It is and is even available as a board book (thought I don't see it on Amazon anymore in board book form). I bought it for my niece when she was an infant and she still loves it at 3. Other faves of hers are Sheep in a Jeep, Is Your Mama a Llama?, and the Clifford books.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
And the classic "Pat the Bunny" and its sequel, "Pat the Cat".

I still have Emmett's favorite variation on this: Pat the Stimpy.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
The original was written by an alumna of my college, the sequel by her daughter. So, in the alumnae bulletin, mixed in with the scholarly publications there will be a notice that a new edition of one or the other is out. I always find it amusing.

My favorite books to buy for new baby showers are Tuesday by David Wiesner and The True Story of the Three Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka.
Tuesday is told with almost all pictures (there's a grand total of about ten words throughout the story), and it's about the Tuesday that the frogs flew on their lilypads through a subdivision. Hilarious drawings!
And The True Story of the Three Little Pigs is told from the wolf's perspective--he was just trying to borrow a cup of sugar, but they got all hostile.

This book is awesome. So funny.
