15 Super Fun Books for Sandra Boynton Fans

by Janssen Bradshaw

Until I had children, I had never even heard Sandra Boynton’s name.

Six months into motherhood and I could recite many of her books from memory.

Four children later, my love affair with her is still going strong — she just creates the most delightful books with catchy rhythms and hilarious illustrations.

If your household holds some Sandra Boynton fans as well (and I can’t imagine that it doesn’t!), here are 15 other titles that will tickle your funny bone and imagination in the same way!

This list originally appeared on ReadBrightly.com.

    Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?

    by Dr. Seuss

    One of the best things about Sandra Boynton’s books is that they invite little ones to get in on the action. Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? does that very same thing, encouraging kiddos to make all kinds of silly sounds, from the familiar hoo hoo of an owl to the outrageously fun grum grum of a hippo chewing gum.
