Favorite Books

My son is now 15 months old and showing distinct preferences in what we read at night. I usually get to snuggle and read with him before bed so I'm very familiar with his favorites. Now that I know that they have toddler books at the Library, I get to mix it up a bit. Here is Ronan's favorite book right now:
He really likes books with photos more than illustrations, so this book is just right. It is very simple and features some kids with down syndrome. "My Up & Down & All Around Book". He likes this set of brothers the best as they demonstrate on and off of a big pink ball.


I'm "reading" this book right now, "Airman" by Eoin Colfer, one of my favorite young adult authors. (from Ireland of course) I put "reading" in quotes because I'm actually listening to it in audiobook form. Also from the library and racking up late charges as we speak! Well, I have to support my local library some how, right?



I believe Blake is reading John Hodgeman's "More Information than You Require" that he got as a Father's Day gift. (Or was it his birthday?) Well, from Ronan anyway... And I'm looking forward to reading it when he is done!

Those books remain precious forever, the ones you read over and over as your child slowly grows into a special adoration for reading time. We really love(d) the nearly wordless books to which you could spin your own stories -- Ten Minutes Til Bedtime is still an all-time favorite!

Grant's favorite is SkippyJohn Jones Up and Down...but of course there are movements that go along with each page that must be done or he has no interest whatsoever!
