We raised out kids on mostly Dr Seuss. In particular I remember Go Dogs Go and Green Eggs and ham being their favorites... or was it my favorite? The part they liked the most was my being next to them reading the books, each day. I would just ask them to choose a book, and off we went. Funny thing is one day my son started to read the book himself without opening the book. I was shocked he had pretty much memorized the first half. Turns out that is normal and a good thing. As they got older, before getting a device, they would always bring a book into the car when we drove anywhere.

My daughter loved all types of books when she was younger. My son, who will be 3 in July, seems to only like books that rhythm or have some type of pattern.
