True story...
My wife (It's her niece's fourth birthday): Can you get her some classic children's books. Just ask for a recomendation if you can't find the familiar classics.
Me: I don't trust their recomendations.
Great advice. I picked a selection and asked a stranger in the store, a mom, if I could get her toddler's help in deciding which to pick. This little kid took one quick glance and picked the Lorax and a Robert Munsch collection. I always trust the experts.
