More great books for christmas
December 04, 2008
#1 He Came with the Couch - He Came with the Couch is a recent addition to Cara's bookshelf. Cara found the book while we were playing at Barnes and Noble and she wouldn't put it down so I ended up having to buy it. There was something about the "creature" that she seemed to love. I love the great illustrations and they help make this a book that I don't mind reading three times before tucking Cara into bed for the night.
#2 One Fish Two Fish - This is one of those classic books that I read as a child and knew that I had to share with Cara. She gets the simple humor of the book and it's a great way to go over her colors and numbers without it seeming like a lesson.
#3 How Dinosaurs Say Goodnight - I'm always on the lookout for a really good before bed book and this book fits the bill nicely. No boring story and average illustrations in this book. A must for the kid who can't get enough of dinosaurs and the parent who wants a book that they will enjoy as well.
#4 The Runaway Bunny - I have this book memorized. That's what happens when you read something every night for three months. We've moved on to other books now, but I know in the very near future this book will once again take it's place in our night time routine. I can't wait.
#5Flotsam - Cara and I started reading this book when she was around a year old and we haven't stopped reading it yet. I think the key is the fact that there are so many really interesting illustrations that Cara is able to make up more complex stories as she's gotten older. The book seems to grow with her as her understanding of the book has grown. Really great book.
