Its hard to find a good first story book. A book with multiple stories in it, none of which are too long or too verbose or generally annoying. And if it could not involve Disney, Dora, princesses or Thomas we'd be much obliged. We stumbled on The Complete Book of Farmyard Tales
by Usbourne last summer while we were stocking up on books for Grandma's house and it has become a favorite (we had to buy a copy for our house too). Written by Heather Amery and illustrated by Stephen Cartwright, this compilation includes 20 simple stories about different everyday adventures that happen to a farm family. They are all 8-10 pages long so they are the perfect length for bedtime or potty time.
The book also includes a CD with oral versions of all the stories so you can bring it along in the car (or use it to read along with).
