25 books your kids will want to read over and over (and over)

What's your child's current favorite?
My favorite part of the day, hands down, is when my freshly bathed son is all snuggly in his PJs and he’s about to sit down in my lap to tuck into a good book before bed. My least favorite part, though, is when he goes to his bookcase and grabs the same book we read earlier that day and the night before (and the night before that). I almost always say, “That one? But do you want to try something new?” (Spoiler: He doesn’t.)
So I take a deep breath and remind myself about the research that says reading the same book to your kids over and over helps their brain development. And I dive into the world of Pete the Cat or Piggy and Gerald, and before we know it I’m wrapped up in the magic of that world, too.
