Re: Books in verse for 2.5yo

I've added rec.arts.books.children, at Peggy's suggestion.  For their
benefit, the request was for recommendations of great rhyming picture
books for a 2.5yo boy.  (I'm not at the moment looking for books of
poems for children, or recommendations of adult poetry he might enjoy.)
This is crossposted to misc.kids.moderated -- feel free to adjust the
newsgroups line when you post according to your own comfort.  I'll check
both groups.

Some of the suggestions so far (this only includes the ones we haven't
yet read, so if I left yours off, that's probably why) are:

"Nicholas Cricket" by Joyce Maxner published by Harper Collins
'How Many Trucks Can a Tow Truck Tow' by Charlotte Pomerantz illustrated 
        by R.W. Alley
"Quick As A Cricket" and "The Napping House" by (iirc) Audrey
        and (???) Woods
the board book "Shoes" by Elizabeth Winthrop
Each Peach Pear Plum by Janet and Allan Ahlberg
A House Is a House for Me by Mary Ann Hoberman
Possum Com a-Knockin' by Nancy Van Laan
The Disappearing Alphabet by Richar Wilbur
The Happy Hippopotami  by Bill Martin
"Zin Zin Violin"
Books by Lynley Dodd ... The Hairy Maclary and Slinky Malinki ones 
        should be available over there.
"Good Knight", by Linda Rymill
the Bruno series by Lars Klinting
"Halloween House" and "Big Pumpkin" by Erica Silverman
"Hippos Go Berzerk!" by Boynton
"Miss Spider's Tea Party" (and the other Miss Spider books)
"Red Caboose: A Little Lionel Book about Colors"

Thanks in advance for any additional suggestions you can offer!
