The Ants Go Marching

While my son and I were at the library today, we found this fun little board book. It's a little sing a long to the tune... you guessed it.

During story time his sisters loved it too, so we'll be getting more Wee Sing Board Books.

Looking forward to 'em.

Here is a quick link to learn more about this book and others in the series.

Happy Reading!

I Spy a Freight Train

I Spy a Freight Train by Lucy Micklethwait (ages 4-8) While at the library my son spotted this gem and asked if we could bring home. He loves trains, so of course I said yes. We have a large freight train station in town, so it is rare that we not see a train. It's fun to see his excitement when he sees a train, but it hard to also watch him panic as the train keeps going and disappears. I called this a little gem because I didn't realize that the book about more than just freight trains. We got to spy on airplanes, row boats, horses, sleighs, a baby carriage and many more. Not to mention the other 'made up' things we spied while making a game of it. It was fun. Even more so, my children haven't heard the term baby carriage or sleigh, so that was fun to see what they thought was it. Here's another excerpt of the book. Oh, and while I am not much of an art know it all, in the back of the book are the credits for all of the pictures used. You will find the likes...

"L" is for Library

"L" is for Library by Sonya Terry and Illustrated by Nicole Wong (Ages 4-8) Wanting to be able to spend time at the library with my children, I've found my/our first library introduction book. A wonderful, rhyming, A through Z tour of the library and best of all - "Q is for quiet, the best volume for a library voice" - helps to reinforce my shhhsh'ing. Usually, we fly in and get the books I've reserved on line, but that is no fun. I soon hope to be able to enjoy the library with my children. Wish me luck! ...please...seriously

Putting it in Perspective

Babar Goes to School by Laurent de Brunhoff (Ages 4-8) 2003 Being a King is hard work, but when children proclaim that it is difficult to be a child, Babar is baffled and decided to live a day in the life of a child, again , since he doesn't recall it being so difficult. Babar decided to go to school with the children one day and quickly learns that it can be difficult being a child. Especially learning that he doesn't quite recall how to do a math problem correctly or getting scolded for talking to his neighbor at circle time.... even though he was just trying to help. At the end of the day, Babar was quite tired and decided that it was much easier to be a grown up. Happy Reading!
