Favorite books

I am asked this every once in a while. What is my daughter's favorite books OR what would you recommend. The most common thread is repetition where certain phrases remain the same but a word or character changes each page. Also the more sing songy the better. Especially when trying to turn that voice on. My daughter will try to make sounds with some of these books. We're trying the vocal route with speech at times as this seems more effective for her.

Here's the list thus far. I'm crazy about children's books btw.

Any Eric Carle especially Brown Bear, Hungry Caterpillar, 10 Rubber Ducks, From Head to Toe, Polar Bear and Have You Seen My Cat...just to name a few

Any and all Mo Willems books - especially Pidgeon and Knuffle Bunny books
