I am invited to a friend's baby shower. I'm not sure if I will go but I'm definitely going to get something for her & the baby. I'm planning on getting her something that she's registerd for but I would also like to give them some children's books. Last year, I gave another friend The Classic Treasury Of Hans Christian Andersen and Aesop's Fables. I am considering these books and Over In The Meadow by Olive A. Wadsworth. http://www.amazon.com/Classic-Treasury-Hans-Christian-Andersen/dp/076241393X/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1209942506&sr=1-4http://www.amazon.com/Aesops-Fables-Classic-Illustrated/dp/0877017808/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1209942568&sr=1-1http://www.amazon.com/Over-Meadow-Olive-Wadsworth/dp/0735815968/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1209942296&sr=1-6Does anyone have any other suggestions? By the way, she's expecting a girl.

Knowledge is a great gift at any age especially in the beginning of the life of a special child.

Eric Carle, the Very Hungry Caterpillar or any of his other books. The Little Red Barn,Guess How Much I Love You,Winnie the Pooh Books. Go to Barnes & Noble or Borders go to the children's section, than you have a whole section to check out! Have fun and enjoy!!!

I would start with books for babies. Pat the Bunny is a good first book. Any thing by Eric Carle, they are hard covered. The books you mention are good books, but for a baby shower they seem to be for use too far in the future.

Wind in the Willows is always a good classic, so is Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. I also really enjoy The Paddington Treasury. It's a bit lighter and humorous, along with A Child's Garden of Verses by R.L. Stevenson which is good for when the child is learning how to read and deals with all kinds of subjects and emotions.
