1) Winnie the Pooh (we have that one for Sarah)
2) Babar the elephant (I remember this one vividly from my childhood)
3) The Little house series
4) Bear Snores On (Sarah loves this one)
5) Goodnight Moon (Sarah's top favorite book... we are about to get it in a hard copy paper pages. She is wearing out the boardbook)
6) Where the wild things are
7) The napping House

Sarah being 3 years old makes my favorite book selections a bit on the younger side.

Tub people?

When I was studying Children's Lit we read a lot of kids books because we had to review them. I remember in particular the Tub People. There are so many gorgeous books out there.
