Celebrity Parents Bedtime Story Picks

People Magazine recently asked some celebrity parents to share their favoriate bedtime stories for their own kids. Here's their selections:

Jada Pinkett Smith: Children's books by Fred Crump

"They're black fairy tales I found that are kind of underground," she says. "They're written by a guy who took all of the classic fairy tales and re-created them with black characters. My daughter loves them. They're her favorite!"

Rainn Wilson: Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale by Mo Willems

"My son [Walter, 2] loves this book - it's about a little kid who leaves her stuffed rabbitr in the washing machine," he says. "It's thrilling, but we haven't gotten to the end yet."

Liv Tyler: Anything from the Hairy Maclary series or Slinky Malinki by Lynley Dodd

Tyler says of two-year-old son Milo, "He's obsessed with them because they are clever and really funny."

His mom is more of a traditionalist saying, "I like Goodnight Moon!"

Mariska Hargitay: The Sneetches and Other Stories by Dr. Seuss

"All of the Seuss books are so brilliant. They're rhythmic, and kids like that," says Hargitay. "My Husband and I read to our son August [10 months] and do different voices. Then August eats the books. He doesn't discriminate. He'll eat whatever we have."

Greg Kinnear: Anything in the Angelina Ballerina series by Katharine Holabird

"My daughter Lily is 3. She's consumed with ballet," says Kinnear. "There's a mouse who does ballet - it's absolutely baffling to her. But it will last about 15 minutes. Dr. Seuss's Oh, the Places You'll Go! is rising fast!"
