I read these reviews to the menfolk last night, and we started reminiscing about children's books.
Son heartily recommends Calvin & Hobbes, for when Casterbrook is a little older. I remember thinking "maybe teaching my kid words like 'pair of pathetic peripatetics' is gonna get him bullied at school", then realizing that no, the egghead-vocabulary ship had already sailed.
Husband recommends Tops and Bottoms, by Janet Stevens. It's a story about a tricksy rabbit who cheats his lazy creditor, Bear, out of the top half of the garden's corn crop and the bottom half of the carrot crop. Gorgeous illustrations, about two paragraphs per page.
