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."
I do think the Monster at the End of the Book is still in print.
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.
And the classic "Pat the Bunny" and its sequel, "Pat the Cat".

I still have Emmett's favorite variation on this: Pat the Stimpy.
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.
oooooh - the art in Tuesday is amazing!

This book is awesome. So funny.
Is there no Pat the Squid?
I told you about this, right? That when I was little I thought it was a bunny. Named Pat?
'Cause I did.
I heard this on NPR and now I MUST have this book and an audio book with Steve Martin reading would not be remiss either.
