Have you tried Audiobooks? They've saved me from endless readings of The Cat in the Hat, etc. You can get several Dr. Seuss recordings at AudibleKids.com. iTunes also has kids books. You just download to your computer and upload to an MP3 player. My DS4 listens daily.

Other audiobooks he loves: Curious George (really relates to that little monkey), The Berenstein Bears, The Star Wars series, The Chronicles of Narnia series... Lots to choose from. By the way, audiobooks are a wonderful way to pass time on long drives. Especially the novels.

Also, Amazon often has a deal -- $100 off an MP3 player if you sign up for a one Audible.com subscription. Kids books tend to be cheap. So I use my subscription credit ($14.95 mo.) to buy myself a "big" book that lists for, say, $35, and buy the kids books for a few bucks.

ONE OTHER SUGGESTION: Check out the TAG reader from Leapfrog!

It's a "pen" that reads books to kids. LOVE IT. But more than just reading the story, each book is interactive. Everything on each page "talks". Games teach phonics, identification, etc. And you can plug in headphones. (Ahhh, my ears don't even have to hear "...I do not like them Sam I Am"). II usually bring along a couple new books on plane rides. (The Leapfrog site had a sale last year near Christmas, so I stocked up.) And I like that I'm not just plugging my son into a DVD or game player.

Oh, we still cuddle and read lots of books together, but now my son can sate his voracious appetite on his own.
