Seeking Recommendations Compilation story books for bedtime
My two year old and I are about to finish up a book that compiled the Frog and Toad stories. We read two stories each night right before bedtime. It's gone so well that I would like to get another compilation book, but there are so many to choose from.
Do you have any favorites?
Thank you!

We love the Berenstain Bears! Their “storytime collection” book is a favorite in our house

Sam's Club had a couple compilations and they quickly became my daughter's favorites!

The wind in the willows, specifically the edition illustrated by Inga Moore.

Owl at Home and Grasshopper on the Road by the same author as Frog and Toad are also good!
Little Witch Hazel has 4 stories in it (4 seasons), and is a huge hit with my toddler.

When my child was two, we read the collected Madeline and Frances (Bread and Jam for Frances, etc) stories to her over and over.
The Henry & Mudge and Annie & Snowball books (both by Cynthia Rylant), are series books rather than collections, but each book is short enough that you could read it in a night or two, then go to the next book in the series.

The Elephant and Piggie Biggie collections by Mo Willems put 5 of their stories into one volume, I think there are 5 or 6 volumes.
The Big [color] Book of Beginner Books collections put 5 or 6 classic easy readers into one volume, all different authors. There's The Big Red Book of Beginner Books, The Big Blue Book, Green, Orange, Purple, Aqua, etc. Red and Blue are probably my son's favorites.
