BOOooo k #2

by Jon Stone

This is also a fun classic. The good thing is instead of being scared you are laughing by the end. Plus the interaction keeps the child's attention.

This is my new favorite book. My Aunt told my mom about it and she told me and I'm so glad they did. It is so fun to read out loud. It is about a Siamese kitten who is convinced that he's really a Chihuahua in disguise. With a little imagination and a whole lot of fun, this frisky cat dons a mask and cape and takes on a bad bumble-beeto to save the day. And along the way, he'll be sure to steal young reader's hearts, yes indeed-o! Here is a little taste . . .

My name is Skippito Friskito. (clap clap)

I fear not a single bandito. (clap clap)

My manners are mellow,

I'm sweet like the Jell-O,

I get the job done, yes indeed-o. (clap clap)

p.s. You might have to read through it a couple of times to get all the rhyming rhythm down. But ounce you do it is a really fun read.

Be sure to check out the other Skippyjon Jones books that are avaiable. :)

MO WILLEMS

Okay here is the next great author I found in the "W" section. I love his Pigeon books and so does my 2 year old. He likes "Don't let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" fun and interactive and he cracks up when I read him "The Pigeon Finds A Hot Dog". (Plus with Football Season in full swing I love the quote that a hot dog "is a taste sensation".) He is also the author of Knuffle Bunny. This book is a little too true for any of you that have misplaced your child's favorite toy, blanket, etc. Plus the illustration in Knuffle Bunny is very unique. So go check out Mo Willems. There are more pigeon books and a Knuffle Bunny II so let me know what you think.

We've All Got Bellybuttons!

By David Martin

This book has been a great find. My daughter and I both love it. Various animals invite you to experience what their different body parts can do, including their tickly belly buttons. It's one we read over and over again.
