This book is SO much fun. It’s an interactive one so more fun when they get a little older.
A fun story about sharing and the importance of friendship when you need help.
This one is a hilarious story about a mean dog falling out a window lol. It was recommended to me by a little girl at Barnes and Noble. She picked it up and said “Wanna read about the worst dog ever?” She wasn’t wrong haha.
Just a nice little rhyming bedtime story about construction equipment.
Yes, like the Raffi song! Singing books are sooo great to help get your little one interested in talking. This was one of my favorite songs as a kid but I only recently found out about the book. My son loves singing this with me.
About loving your kid no matter who they are. Although I feel like it’s slightly geared toward moms of boys, it’s great for any kid or parent (they don’t actually use pronouns for the kid in the book FYI).
About the dreams and wishes for your baby as they grow up. Definitely on the sappy side, geared a little more toward moms of girls but I read it to my son often (and cry while I do it).
Cute rhyming story about the importance of friendship and being nice to those you meet.
This one is a little older but idk if everyone has heard of it. It’s essentially an interactive book that teaches your kid that they have control of monsters. Each page pieces together a picture of a monster (it’s not a scary one), until you tell the monster to go away, and then each page takes a piece of the monster away.
The Pigeon books, Elephant and Piggie books, and Knuffle Bunny are all great. Funny for adults and engaging for kids.
(Will edit and add more later as I think of them)
My oldest is three years old, and I've found that books are a great gateway to the horror media we all know and love. It started the October after he turned one, when we found "Slide and Find Spooky" at a library book sale. It was a big hit and we've since amassed a pretty good collection of similarly themed board books
Where is Baby's Pumpkin?
Eek! Halloween!
Spooky Pookie
Little Boo
Llama Llama Trick or Treat
Happy Halloween, Curious George
and picture books
Go Away, Big Green Monster!
Happy Halloween, Little Critter!
Clifford's Halloween
Berenstain Bears Trick or Treat
Berenstain Bears Go on a Ghost Walk
Bonaparte Falls Apart
​
This past fall we started watching some horror-themed television and movies. Good intros were
Curious George: A Halloween Boo Fest
Hotel Transylvania
Coco
Scared Shrekless
The Nightmare Before Christmas
and especially the late sixties and late seventies iterations of Scooby-Doo. More recently we've gotten into Mystery Incorporated! (which is a treasure trove of horror references for grown-up fans, from Hellraiser's Lament Configuration and Eaten Alive's Starlight Hotel to Vincent Price and Jason Voorhees). Other kid-friendly movies that went over well have included
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein
Bride of Frankenstein
The Monster Squad
Beetlejuice
and, oddly enough, Starman
​
Obviously, every kid is gonna have their own preferences and move at their own speed. I've been lucky that mine gets a real kick out of "spooky" things, likes to pretend we're ghosts or monsters as we play chase, etc. One benefit of enjoying this stuff together is that we can talk about how monsters are for fun and not real, and we've watched makeup tutorials on YouTube to see how artists help actors pretend to be monsters. We have yet to go through waking up from a nightmare about any of this, and I think the conversations we've had about the imaginary nature of these things have really helped with that.

Big Green Monster!
It's my favorite book from when I was young. It's my mom's favorite book, too! You turn the pages to see this big green scary monster appear. But as you keep turning the pages, the monster goes away! And you're safe again! "Go away big green monster! And don't come back until I say so!!" Such an awesome book!
These all look fantastic! I would add

You might have Munsch in your classics , but he is one of my favorites. My kids enjoyed No David by David Shannon. Pigeon books were also a favorite here.
Thanks for the list! Lots to research!
