E.P.
Sorry but I'm an "oldies-but-goodys" fan of any Dr. Seuss (Go, Dog, Go...Put me in the zoo....Are you my mother?....etc..) and Berenstain Bears books (we had at least 20+ books. They would start w/ the basic books and by age 3, the story books had cute little stories / morals) Also, a Disney story book series, we bought at Sam's club...was a series of 3 thicker, books w/ condensed Disney stories and good illustrations. Enjoy!
