For the first 11 months, Ledger never sat still long enough to let me read to him.
Then suddenly, this week, he's been obsessed with his books.
He carries them all around the the house.
And about every 15 min we take a "reading break."
It makes me, an Elementary Education major very happy :)
Even Dad gets in on the action.
We've been reading a lot of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, he loves the holes in the book.
One of my all time favorites.

ReplyDeleteMy baby girl loves books as well! Two of my favorites: "God's Dream" & "How Do I Love You?"
ReplyDeleteMy son is 11 months old too (he'll be 1 next week! Yikes.) and has always loved books. He's been known to pull all of his books out of his toy basket and if a toy is on the ground, it's because it was in the way of a book.
ReplyDeleteHe loves his books. I never thought at this age he would be this into them, but he's right up there with your son! Must be this age or something... I don't know. Either way it's REALLY FLIPPIN CUTE!
Oh and his favorite books are "The Wheels on the Bus", "That's my Dinosaur", "I love my Daddy" and "5 Little Lady Bugs".... too sweet.
ReplyDeleteWe love "Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball" by Vicki Churchill and "I Will Always Love You" by Tracey Moroney (that's out of print). Love, love, love to read!!!

Babies/Toddlers--
"The Going to Bed Book" by Sandra Boynton
"Moo, Baa, La La La" by Sandra Boynton
"There is a Monster and the End of the Book" (I think that's the title). It is a very cute book!! :) Ledger is such a cutie!!
ReplyDeleteMy all time favorite cook is Love You Forever by Robert Munsch. That book never gets old. In fact, looking at the book now its looking pretty hammered and its probably time to purchase a new copy :)There have been times in my kids lives where it has been a daily read. Love it! I think it means as much to me as it does to them!
ReplyDeleteI'm a pretty big fan of the old school Cat in the Hat myself. Some other good ones are Lady and the Tramp. I like the classics!
ReplyDeleteAnything by Sandra Boynton is good! She is one of my faves! I also love "Just go to bed" by Mercer Mayer and "Brown Bear Brown Bear" One of Hudsons favorite was "The Barnyard Dance" by Sandra Boynton. I read it so much I still have it memorized! I have lots of faves though, we read lots at our house!
ReplyDeleteWe love pop-up books...a little bit challenging when certain little hands attack the pages...LOL...but our kiddos love them! Ledger is such a cutie pie!

Sorry for the list. We love books... and I have very young readers. It's hard to pick a favorite, so those are a few of ours. As a former teacher, I have a slight addiction for buying children's books. :- )
My favorite children's book is either tacky the penguin or Chester
ReplyDeleteI love the books by Mo Willems. Dont let the pigeon drive the bus and many other cute titles. You can never go wrong with If you give a mouse a cookie
ReplyDeleteHow cute!! Love your blog!!!
ReplyDelete"Goodnight Gorilla"...great book to use your imagination! My kids always love the stories we could come up with.
ReplyDeleteyou bought lexi that book! haha and that was my first time seeing that book!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite was The Little Red Hen. Goodnight Moon, The Cake That Mack Ate, Goodnight Gorilla, There's A Monster In My Closet, one about a steam shovel...Mike and Marianne?, the one with the letters falling out of the cocanut tree....my youngest will be 7 this summer, how am I fir getting the names of these books? Anyway, those were favorites here. Oh.... Are You My Mother, anything Dr. Suess, Copy Cub....the list could go on and on. I remembered the one above! Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! Yeah, I've still got it! lol
ReplyDeleteGoodnight moon, and twinkle twinkle little star :) ledger is becoming a big boy my goodness!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday PCMC, I had no idea about the fundraiser. I guess we don't hear much news about any other state :/ thanks for sharing with me!!
Goodnight Moon is my little 1 year old son's favorite book!
ReplyDeleteOur all time favorite when my kids where little was "Your are Special" by Max Lacado! Read it for bed everynight!!
ReplyDeleteDear Zoo - my son was obsessed with it for months. So cute.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the very hungry caterpillar. We nicknamed my boy that becuase he was always hungry, still is, but he's a bit big for the name now. I was sad when he out grew all his caterpillar clothes and when daddy said it was time to send his toy one to another child to love on. But we still have the GIANT (and I mean bigger than the child himself is) board book style copy we found at DI not long ago. It's beat up, but both my kiddos love it.
ReplyDeleteThe other favorite in our house, is Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and there's a great one called 10 little dinosaurs (it has google eyes)
