Sorry to post two book round-ups in a row, but seeing that the d-date is around the corner, or at least I’d like to think it is, here are two “big sister” books that we’ve been reading…thanks D!
I’m a Big Sister by Joanna Cole
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This has become a regular in the night-time rotation.
I like that the book helps to explain that newborns have different needs and limitations and that the older siblings can bond and help care for the new household addition.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The best thing about this book is that there are no words – so every time you sit down to read this, you & your child can talk about different things. The older sibling, the new baby, helping mommy & daddy, and so on…
Grossly overdue…here’s our latest book round up!
Come Along, Daisy! by Jane Simmons
My review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
The best used book I’ve bought! My daughter simply adores Daisy and seems genuinely concerned when Daisy gets separated from Mama Duck. We’ve read it so many times, my daughter can now “read” it back to me.
The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats
My review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
The story follows Peter throughout his snowy day adventures.
I read this to my daughter before our trip to the snow and I think it made her even more excited when she could have a snowy day of her own! She now makes snow angels on the carpet!
A classic, must-read!
Bedtime for Frances by Russell Hoban
My review
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
**spoiler alert**
Frances was a favorite of mine when I was young. Lately, getting Mads to bed is one ordeal after another…just like Frances.My 3yo finds the part about the potential tiger a bit scary, so we skip that part. Surprisingly, she’s okay with the giant in the room.
We’ve got such a great collection of books now – I’ll try to be more vigilant about publishing more book round-ups!
