The "that's not my" book series from Usborne books is also good... it involves tactile interaction and my kids loved them from a very early age.

Examples of titles are "That's not my car", "That's not my Bear", "That's not my dinosaur", etc.

My almost 3 son adores "Brown Bear" by Eric Carle and
"Where is the Green Sheep" by Mem Fox

Actually - he loves all the Eric Carle books we've tried with him...

Good luck. Reading is a great foundation.

We love all the Sandra Boynton books! My favourite has got to be Moo Ba Lalala from her series of kids books.

my boys both love the "Hairy Maclary" series of books too

basically books with simple words and colourful pictures are good... i tend to buy animal books and read them stories. 2.5 yrs old loves to describe animals

 

[Babington]

All the books, authors, brands above are great....
Aside from authors and brands, you may also consider books that repeat the same words over and over and over and over again on each page with just a few words that are changed on each page. This encourages your child to start to remember the sight words (common words).

Also, books that have things to touch (like some wool when its about sheep) are great as well.

Repitition and rythmn are the things to look for for this age group.

Another excellent author is Mem Fox (see Mem Fox Welcome!)
