The *Revised* 25 Best Board Books
March 3, 2011The first rendition of the 25 Best Board Books was a huge hit, and I asked Contributing Writer Sarah Farthing to revise the list with her favorites for our National Read Across America Week.
I loved to see these new titles on her list, and also see old friends that are just purely classics – probably on every Board Book Best of list there is.
So here we go….
1
Mommy Hugs and Daddy Kisses
A boxed set of these 2 fabulous cuddly books
2
Mama’s Right Here
Sweet story about the enduring and permanent love of Mamas.

Goodnight Moon
A rythmic lilt to soothe babes to sleep.
