Ten Little Fingers (Board Books for Babies)
Annie Kubler
Child's Play International, 2003
Great book!
I bought this book for my 8 month old and she loves to pat the pages as I read. It's easy for moms to memorize, too, but not so monotonous that you'd get sick of it the 10th time!

Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASA
Richard C. Hoagland, Mike Bara
Feral House, 2007
Good as Far As It Goes
The authors bite off a bit more more than they can chew in this book, but they deserve praise for making the effort to uncover the black hole known as NASA. People who think the face and the pyramids at Cydonia are natural rock formations are the same people who think ...

Spiderwick Chronicles - boxed set of 5 books
