We read to Lily every day and always before bedtime but now that school is out for the summer, we are really rev-ing up the reading and with gas being almost $4.50 a gallon I see a lot of books in our future.  At the moment, my favorite children's author is Mo Willems partly because he's a fellow Brooklynite and partly because his books are just positively hilarious.  He's penned a series of stories about a true George Costanza inspired, urban pest:  the pigeon that are just drop dead, laugh out loud funny and as a comedian I really appreciate that.    "Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus" and "The Pigeon Has Feelings, Too!" are just a few of the titles that we love in this house.

Children's books can be almost as monotonous as children's television so we always appreciate ones that we can all laugh at.  Do you have any recommendations?  Any titles you want to share?  They don't have to be funny.
