Favorite books

Eloise Wilkin's Poems to Read to the Very Young

This is probably by far one of my favorite books I bought for (then) Maya, and read almost every night to Jack now. Just wondrous.

It contains, among many great others, no small number of poems by Robert Louis Stevenson, and now I want his "A Child's Garden of Verses," compilation of poems he wrote for his children, apparently in print since late 19th century. Beautiful, simple and nostalgic, with deft respect for the world of the little ones.
