Books Bear Enjoyed This Week

 Hear Your Heart by Paul Showers is a Let's Read and Find Out Science book.  It was a little advanced for Bear, but for some reason, she loved it.  I skipped some of the details about the valves because that was on the pages she didn't like with just the diagram of the heart.  I think what sold her was how he did the sound of the different heart beats as the kids use their toilet paper tube stethoscopes.

A Drop of Blood (also by Paul Showers) was better in terms of level.  I felt she stayed with the whole book, instead of getting antsy partway through (as with hear Your Heart).She talks about blood frequently now. She wanted this one every night!

Jessica's X-Ray by Pat Zonta was a very cool book with actual x-rays to observe.  Bear chose this one herself off the shelf at the library and I'm glad she did.

Mr. Rabbit and the Lovely Present was a non human body favorite.  It is by Charlotte Zolotow.  She wrote another sweet story that was a favorite of ours called I Like to be Little.  In this book, the little girl searches for the perfect present for her mother with the help of a rabbit.  It just appeals to a little one's sense of wonder and fantasy.  Very Waldorf.
