The Monitor asked parents to submit their favorite books to read with their toddlers in an informal Facebook survey. Our survey revealed that many of the books that parents cherish most are those that they remember reading as children. Here are the top ten recommendations of stories that are sure to hold up through endless readings 鈥 we can't make any promises about the pages of the book, though.

5. 'Green Eggs and Ham' by Dr. Seuss

No child's library is complete without a copy of Dr. Seuss's "Green Eggs and Ham." The lyrical text is as fun for grown-ups to read aloud as it is for children to hear 鈥 though be forewarned, the rapid fire rhymes can leave parents breathless. The delightful tale of Sam I Am's quest to get his friend to try green eggs and ham appeals to kids' silly side while reinforcing parents' perpetual pleas for kids to try new foods. "Green Eggs and Ham" was first published by Random House in 1960.

Don't miss these other titles by Dr. Seuss, "The Cat in the Hat," "Oh the Thinks You Can Think," "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish," and "The Lorax." Many of Dr. Seuss's tales have recently been made into motion pictures, but nothing beats meeting the master wordsmith on the page.
