Bunny My Honey by Anita Jeram
A Picture for Harold's Room by Crockett Johnson We just LOVE Harold! We've been reading more and more "I Can Read" books lately (it was so nice to introduce Millie to the "Frog and Toad" series!). Don't forget about the Early Readers section when you're browsing the library shelves. According to Reading With Infants, Toddlers and Preschoolers: 'Research shows that it is not until 8th grade that a student's reading level catches up to his or her listening level.' (Trelease) So the fact that your child can't read yet doesn't mean he or she isn't able to listen to and understand longer stories. We've even begun purchasing a few early readers that include pictures within the text so Millie can actually help us "read" the story.
Little Rabbit Couldn't Sleep by Beth Shoshan
Airplane Flight! by Susanna Leonard Hill
Polly's Pink Pajamas by Vivian French This book is perfect for Millie, who asks to wear a "pretty dress" every day!
...
I also wanted to mention two books that I checked out this week.
Preschooler Playtime: Creative Activities for Fun at Home by Melissa Bogdany is a small book with simple ideas of how to keep your preschooler occupied and allow them to help around the house. Many of the suggestions are quick and easy, but make for hours of entertainment for your little one!
Start Fresh by Tyler Florence My friend Megan recommended this book. Although Millie is too old for the pureed section of the cookbook, I always enjoy finding simple, good-for-you recipes that Millie may enjoy as well. She's a good eater, but definitely picky about what she tries, so introducing new foods in this way will (I hope) be helpful in expanding her palate!
