Book Corner

A is now a toddler full of love for books. Here are some that she can't get enough off:

1) I love you Stinky Face : This book is illustrated by Cyd Moore, whose work we really enjoy. And the story is wonderful, too.

2) Ella Sarah Gets Dressed & Best Best Friends : These two books tell a well-written story, and both of  them have female protagonists. A seems to identify with the girls in the story and hence enjoys hearing about them again and again.

3) Oh no, George: This is a fun read about a naughty dog who tries his level best to stay out of trouble. Perfect for a pre-afternoon nap.

4) If you give a mouse a cookie: An awesome collection of stories; funny and fun.

5) Monkey and Me: We have spent many evenings enjoying this book.

6) Higher and higher: Another book with a female protagonist. A has been reading this book since last year and it's still going strong.

Trying to organize As books & toys requires a skill set of its own :)

And as I was trying to get all her stuff fit into the toy chest, I realized there have been some toys n books that she and I have just loved to tatters. So, here is a list of books that we couldn't live without:


1) Mirror Me (Baby Einstein): G & I picked up this book on our first trip to Babies'r'us :) when A was not even born. We, and by we I mean the three of us, have loved this book since her early days.

2) Quack, Quack: As A grew and started getting more interactive, she couldn't get enough of this one. And once in a while, she still opens it up.

3) Daddy Hugs & Counting Kisses (Karen Katz) : These two are As most favs right now. G & A read these every night before bedtime. And every night they make her giggle n smile.

4) Old Macdonald A Hand-Puppet Board Book: This is a board book with a hand puppet, and what could be better for a 6 month old. We have used this book extensively while traveling n it worked wonders every time.

These are a few for now. Do you have a fav childhood book you still enjoy?
