With G's facedown requirement, we read hundreds of books.
Hundreds.
I can't tell you what our MOST favorite have been, because those have become Christmas presents for some special nieces (& one small Malachi). But here are some others you might enjoy.
Read many times. A favorite.
This one has me saying "Terrific" all the time.
As the pencil draws, things come to life.
Has the shortest chapters ever. Made Joseph & I both laugh out loud.
I could leave this one, but G loved it. One of the babies is not as brave as the others and needs encouragement.
I don't understand the attractiveness of this one, but G wanted to read it again & again.
A fun book to read out loud.. but only if you can do a terrific Texan accent.
Sweet book.
Boris' mom puts ice cubes in the bath to cool it down for him.
Velvet is different. The other all-the-same kids come to appreciate her.
The boy designs an amazing car. Fun rhymes made it enjoyable to read, which was good, because G loved it.
If you check any of these out, let me know what you think.
And if you have any great tips for a good read, please share.
We love "Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel." I'll keep thinking and let you know what I come up with. Have you discovered "Half Price Books"? They are a great used book store.
ReplyDeleteEmily, That's a great book - and one we haven't read in a long time. I'll have to check it out. We read machine books every day - construction trucks, trains, airplanes, boats, firetrucks - if it moves, we're interested in it. Thanks for the tips.
