book.1

Book Love. I think I've let this love die a bit. Between an incredibly busy start to the new year and an incredibly busy toddler, well, reading hasn't been high on the priority list. So, aside from reading recipes, nutrition information on food boxes, and greeting cards from various holidays, I have not read much of substance.

I do, however, spend plenty of time reading with Isabel. The same 5 books over and over and over. And over. Her current favorite is "Dear Zoo." It's a cute story of the narrator who writes to the zoo to send him a pet. Each page has a lift-the-flap picture, detailing what animal is sent. After returning the animals for various reasons, the zoo employees finally get it right and send the perfect pet. I've loved watching Isabel light up as the lion appears. She ROAAAARS right along with me. What books are you currently enjoying with your kids?

This sounds like a cute one!

Natalia LOVED her Sandra Boyton books when she was 1-2. Adam favors animal books like Eric Carle's Brown Bear and Polar Bear ones, and we have a few touch-and-feel FARM and WILD ANIMAL books he wants to "read" over and over again.

Natalia is on a Berenstain Bears kick right now. I think it's her personal goal to read every single one they have at our local library. She likes to look at all the titles they picture on the back covers and count which ones we have yet to read.

Annabelle LOVES the search & find books-she has 2 Sesame Street ones and one Baby Einstein. They are great because you can name things & have them point or you point & they name them. She loves it :) She just started getting into actual story books-"Where the Wild Things Are" is one of her favorites right now too.

Allison loves the 'Olivia' books right now. That little pig is so funny! We have also been reading a book called "Pinkalicious" about a girl who ate too many pink cupcakes!
