The first month we bought a classic book that belongs in all adoptive family libraries. A Mother for Choco by Keiko Kasza.
The next month D decided that we needed to look for a book about daddies. There is little out there but we found a cute little gem in My Daddy and Me by Tina Macnaughton.
Then we missed a month.
Last month we decided on a Sandra Boynton book. Her books are so cute and full of fun. We bought Hippos go Berserk.
What shall we buy this month? Any good kids book suggestions?

I like Mercer Mayer's books...the pictures can be looked at at bunch of different levels because they are both simple and intricately playful. "All by myself" was a favorite.
More I just like the idea of marking the time in this way--what a very very cool idea.
we did the same thing. it was the only I think I let myself buy for months.
I wrote about it in the post below, and got some good recommendations too:

How fun! I love this idea Lavonne. What a wonderful start to a book collection (though I hope the 'waiting' collection is small). A little book called Pat the Bunny is a fun one.
What a great idea! One of my favorite preschool books is Amazing Grace. I discovered it while I worked in child care and later bought one for myself.
i recommend every one of Boynton's books!
