Patriotic Kaz:
Am I in the minority of Americans who think bodily functions are impolite and not funny?

Renoard:
Captain Underpants is pretty good. I like the classics: Stevenson, Baum, Kipling. George the Ghost, and curious George if they haven't been mentioned. Oh for tweens, I recommend Hitchcocks Three Investigators.

KhyEllie:
I recommend Pingo, a brand new picture book by Brandon Mull. It's good for little kids.

drackmire:
You should consider:

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

My son is just over 2 and he loves the book. It has good drawings and reads fairly easy. It also teaches kids that even though they have a bad day from time to time, at the end of the day it's just not so bad.
