Otherwise, we’ve read…<\/p>\n
Babies on the Go<\/em> written by Linda Ashman, illustrated by Jane Dyer<\/strong><\/p>\n A gentle little tale of how different animal babies get around (via mama-power, of course!) We enjoyed the pictures of all the baby animals with their mamas, and the quietly rhyming text. Our favorites are the sloth “swinging in a belly sling” and the kangaroo “tucked inside a private sack” – since that’s the way Garcia babies get around too. I enjoy reading this aloud to Louis. Tirzah Mae loves listening along. And Louis loves eating it. Naturally.<\/p>\n Madeline<\/em> by Ludwig Bemelmans<\/strong><\/p>\n Tirzah Mae must have decided she likes this classic tale, because she brought it to me and to grandma (who has been staying with us this last weekend while papa was gone with grandpa) to have us read it to her over and over and over again. <\/p>\n Baa, Baa Black Sheep<\/em> After our good success with Penny Dann’s Row, Row, Row Your Boat<\/em> at the end of last year, I knew I was interested in some more books I could sing to Tirzah Mae. Somehow, I fortuitously happened upon the sheet in my reading log that recorded Iza Trapani’s picture books and decided to check a few out again. We enjoyed these singable variations on the songs, with multiple verses telling a story. For instance, in Old King Cole<\/em>, King Cole wears himself out preparing for a fancy ball – and falls asleep for the ball itself. Everyone tries to wake him, with no success until Queen Cole brings out a good-smelling tart. That wakes him up right away, to everyone’s delight. <\/p>\n I intended to write more about the half dozen other board books we’ve been reading and re-reading (Sandra Boynton’s Snuggle Puppy<\/em> is in the rotation again!) and the several dozen children’s picture books Tirzah Mae’s been cycling through (We’re currently loving Herve Tullet’s Press Here<\/em> and Let’s Play<\/em>), but it’s already the afternoon and I’ve got several things to do before our foster care class this evening – so you’ll get what I’ve already written – which happens to be the books we’ve loved that I’ve had to return to the library in the past month. Some of the books we’ve read but that I haven’t written about yet are included in the pics above :-)<\/p>\n We’re linking up with Amy’s Read Aloud Roundup<\/a> to see what other parents (and kids) are reading aloud this month!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We’ve been reading a fair number of board books this month, with a few regular picture books thrown in for good measure.
