Books - Some Recent Favorites

For the Preschooler:

Dear Mr. Blueberry is great for introducing how to write a letter with a salutation etc, but is also humorous because it is about a little girl who is convinced there is a blue whale in her pond.

Carmine A Little More Red - I love fractured fairy tales.  In fact, I may already have posted about this book, but we love it dearly.  I love how it has some fancy vocabulary like exquisite and knoll (although the word nincompoop is also in it).

How Rocket Loved to Read - either a Mouse Grows, Mouse Learns or Adventures in Mommydom recommendation.  J-jo loved the dog but wouldn't sit through the story.  Bear loved the story and asked for it repeatedly.


For the Toddler:
Time To Get Dressed
 Dinosaur Roar
 Rosie's Walk
 Asleep, Asleep - after the success of Animals Sleeping, I knew J-jo would love this similar book; and he does!

Loved by both:
 Sailing off to Sleep
 Jesse Bear, What will you Wear?

  1. Thanks for joining WMCIR! Yes, we recommended the Rocket book - I thought it was lovely. Sailing Off to Sleep sounds intriguing even though in our house it's mostly reading yourself to sleep :)
