I like classic-y things.  A lot of the kids books we have are books that I read when I was a kid.  Same with a lot of our toys.  I'm all about wooden toys, musical instruments, wooden puzzles, Eric Carle books, Shel Silverstein...classics.
When Henry was a newborn I signed him up for a book club in our town where kids from birth to age 5 get a free book mailed to them once a month.  There was a HUGE waiting list so imagine my surprise when his first book arrived yesterday.  Woohoo!  It was the classic The Little Engine that Could.  I was thrilled and Henry carried that book around all day.
When I went in to tuck him in last night he was flipping through his new book.  So I asked him, "How do you like your new book?"
"Good."
"Is it The Little Engine that Could?"
"No.  It's Thomas the Train."
