Volumes of
books
We have a
lot of books in our home for the kids and it makes us very happy. There are
quite a few books that are our favorites, so I thought I would mention a few
series or authors that we have that have gotten a lot of use over the past few
years.
Sandra
Boynton books have been fundamental reads in our house; The Going To Bed Book,
But Not The Hippopotamus, and Barnyard Dance to name a few. They are cute and
the kids love them.
That’s Not
My series by Fiona Watt and Rachel Wells (I believe they did the entire series)
are great books that the kids loved to hold and touch. There’s a lot of
interaction with these books because the kiddos just want to touch the
different textures.
Pete the
Cat books, via Eric Litwin and James Dean, were a favorite of Ads and slowly coming
around to the little guy too. I Love My White Shoes, His Four Groovy Buttons,
and His Magic Sunglasses are just a few of a bevy of smart stories that made
Ads want to sing along during each telling of the story.
Meghan and I
love that the kids are into books. The amount of time spent reading with them
varies each day, so we’re always excited to bring in new stories to keep them
interested; although, they always have favorites that they want us to reread. Sometimes
we reach a limit to how many times in a row we can read a story, but we give it
a couple before moving on in most cases.
I’m trying
to remember how many times Meghan read I’m A Dirty Dinosaur to Marshall because
he would not put the book down…8, 9?
I’m
interested to see what books they will gravitate toward when they get older.
I’m a science fiction, dystopian, and thriller kind of reader for the most
part. Will they like some of my favorites?

Thank you for visiting! I try to keep a to-read list to make sure I don't forget about any books I want to get to in the future.
DeleteMy nieces & I had a lot of fun with the Sandra Boynton books too. They also enjoyed The Paperbag Princess by Robert Munsch. As they get older, the Goosebumps books are a lot of fun for boys and girls alike.
ReplyDeleteFun post. You brought back fond memories for me. Thank you. :-)
Thank you for sharing!! I hope you and your husband are well. :) It seems like you both are very active with conventions for your books; that is FANTASTIC!!!
ReplyDeletePlease let me know if you want any RTs or if I can help with anything. I am behind on my to-read list, but I am hoping I can read the other stories this summer.
