What Are Good Kids Books?

My baby's millionaire uncle sent him a $120 Amazon gift certificate to buy books ($120 more than he ever sent me). At 5 months old, he's kind of young to choose books for himself. Are there any children's books that you would recommend?

    Classic books are good, Good night moon, the hungry caterpillar, good night gorilla.

    My daughter loved lift the flap books. Karen Katz books are great

    I second the dr seuss books for one that young.
    If I had the opportunity at the time, I'd have been very tempted to get the 'your baby can read' program (no clue what kind of price iti is) ..talk about a step ahead in life!

        Vinyl bath books are great for babies as they're brightly coloured and have nice chunky pages. And they don't go into mush when chewed on. For when he's a bit older, touch and feel books are a good option. And even if the baby can't look at a book himself, he'll enjoy hearing his parents reading simple, rhythmic books to him. You might want to consider audio books for little ones too.

          Your question is a tough one because there no one requirement needed to be rich. I really don't think IQ plays much of a role because i believe there are a lot of people with higher IQs than Bill Gates who are working for him.

          My take is that, someone who creative in solving problems would be rich but also being rich is learned either formally or informally. Combining these two, i believe, will be the right foundation.

            I didn't realize how complicated my question was. I just meant nice books for a baby whose vocabulary is primarily "mama," "baby," "dada," "oh boy," and "hi." Also books he could grow into, read to him now and he'd enjoy being read to but wouldn't actually understand anything until he's older. Maybe I could help him develop "hi" into "high" as in "high wealth," "hi iq." He's already "high maintenance."

            Is this the thread you were answering?

              Don't forget the real classics - nursery rhymes.

                Look into the Leapfrog series - interactive books that kids can grow with. Great entertainment for little ones and teach, too.

                Yes, they're great. Our baby responds well to nursery rhymes. He likes rhythmic talking and singing (whether it's my horrid off-pitch croaks, or my wife's nice professional caliber singing). But, I wouldn't want him to know the real meanings of nursery rhymes right away, lol (like not until he's at least 21):

                  I know, they're quite gruesome a lot of them!
