Patton's Bookcase Top 30

Below is a list of our top 30(-ish) most loved books. These are the books that we've read over and over again, and those that my son immediately identified with from the first reading. They are organized by type for the ease of browsing, and some titles are repeated because they fit into more than one category. Concept and naming books identify and explore ideas instead of presenting a story with a clear plot; pattern books repeat phrases, words, images, thoughts or ideas; picture storybooks tell stories through words and images; toy and interactive books include activities such as cutouts and flaps or invite readers to participate in the story; and wordless books tell stories exclusively through illustrations.
