I still have my very worn and faded "Little House" hard cover boxed set given to me as a young girl (and my son and daughter both enjoyed them). I treasure them.

Books of songs by Raffi (Down by the Bay, etc)
If you are concerned about them receiving duplicate books, you could look into books that are local to your region. One relative in Alaska sent us an alphabet board book with Northwest Coast Native Art, and another book called, Wiggle Waggle Woof, a counting book about dog sledding. Both books were unique and a big hit.

I treasure my set as well, they are my very absolute favorites. Between reading them myself (including more than once as an adult) and to both my kids when they were each around 5, I've probably read the series about 7 times.
I got myself the annotated autobiography when it was published a couple of years ago. If you don't have it, I recommend it. It's a nice reference piece.
My favorites are Hippos Go Berserk and But Not The Hippopotamus. I guess I have a thing for Hippos.
My oldest used to giggle every time we read her Blue Hat, Green Hat.
This just makes me smile- the mom-to-be has loved and collected hippos since she was little (so I'm guessing she'll have those)
Thank you all again - especially the suggestions for "different" books - as I said, I'd like something that would be "unique" as opposed to one that she already has received several copies of. Much appreciated
Good Dog Carl -Alexandra Day - it's pictures only and so we'd make up a story about the adventures shown in the picture - add their name or change the dog's name
The Snowy Day - Ezra Jack Keats
There's a Nightmare in My Closet - Mercer Mayer... I think this was very popular at one time but when I tried to buy it as a gift recently, I found you can only get it online from Barnes & Noble, they don't carry it in store -- so maybe it's not as trendy now.
Try "If You Give a Moose a Muffin", there is a whole series by Laura Numeroff. I love them!
