What We're Reading

At our house, we've got a lot of books.  A LOT.  This applies to kids too.  Cate and Charlotte both have books on shelves, in closets, and stacked in their rooms.   We read to them several times daily, often the same book over and over (and over!) because you simply can't appreciate the beautifully crafted sentences and flowing prose of Dora Goes for a Ride until the fifteenth time.

We are happy that they love to read though--it brings us great enjoyment.  Here are the books the girls are loving lately:

Here we've got The Quiet Book by Deborah Underwood, Look Look! by Peter Linenthal, The Foot Book by Dr. Seuss, Opposites by Sandra Boynton, and Baby Animals by Phyllis Limbacher Tildes.  The black and white books made a roaring comeback recently because Cate reads them to Charlotte and it is adorable.

Above we have Hop on Pop and One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish both by Dr. Seuss, How to Get a Job...by Me, the Boss by Sally Lloyd-Jones, A Princess Treasury from Disney, Good Boy, Fergus by David Shannon, and Are you My Mother? by P. D. Eastman.  These books are kept stacked on her bed at all times (with a rotating collection of others).

Good Boy, Fergus really gets me because it is about a Westie.  They describe Major to perfection.  The page below is an example of trying to get the dog, Fergus, to come inside.

This is so Major, it's not even funny.
