This discussion is taking me back! My son is 5 now and I still 
remember most of the words to "Goodnight Moon"; we could recite it 
anywhere, with our own particular voice variations and ad-libs. 
Granted, it's not exactly long, but still :). 

This was a great diversion tactic when Sam started getting upset, but 
the downside was walking around thinking in rhymes for the next 
hour "Goodnight Little House, Goodnight Little Mouse..."

I miss those "board book" days.  Now the picture books we read take 
forever, and my son doesn't like the concept of a chapter book as 
reading a chapter or two a night--no, he wants the whole thing right 
then and there.  I can't blame him of course, I could never read a 
chapter of HP a night! 

We're currently reading some of the Magic Treehouse series--thanks to 
whoever recommended those a few weeks back.
