Some of Jackson's favorite board books are Goodnight Gorilla, Freight Train, Dear Zoo, From Head to Toe, There's a Wocket in my Pocket, It Looked Like Spilt Milk, and We're Going on a Bear Hunt (the version by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury).Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02772279160162043075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941947337186357092.post-62010437530618782632012-01-19T11:29:00.055-08:002012-01-19T11:29:00.055-08:00What a gold mine, Ariel.

Since trains have been our everything for the last year and a half, we have discovered many wonderful books all about trains. I think I'll do a post on it so I don't have to list them all here. <br /><br />We will go find many of these.

We are also really into Dr. Seuss over here and one of my favorites of his is called My Many Colored Days. <br /><br />Ellie is also really loving the book "Bears in the Night". It's super simple (boring to me) and she makes me read it to her over and over. It was Joe's favorite as a child, so that's nice.<br /><br />Other Favorites (of mine) include:<br />Jesse Bear, What Will You Wear?<br />To Market To Market<br />You are Special<br />The Little Engine that CouldWhitney Hardiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06410029000634528706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941947337186357092.post-89729755146675849782012-01-14T21:17:24.206-08:002012-01-14T21:17:24.206-08:00Thomas and I loved pouring over this list of wonde...Thomas and I loved pouring over this list of wonderful books. We were glad to see Frog and Toad on it. Thomas is a friend like just like Frog; I can count on him no matter what. We love Liza Lou, and another Mercer Mayer favorite of the ten Marshalls was The Queen Always Wanted to Dance. Perfectly appropriate Sassiness and Adorability. Hand Hand Fingers Thumb was a great one to whisper in their ears during church to engage their minds when the speaker could not.<br /><br />Thomas wanted to open Animalia right here on the blog. We are looking for chapter books that Thomas will enjoy in all his childlike teenagerness. We almost made it through Charlotte's Web. You inspire us to want to pick it up again.<br /><br />Grandma Nonie wrote a cute little children's musical about Homer Price and the donut shop, and performed it with her grandchildren a few years ago. We encouraged her to write one on Liza Lou next.<br /><br />I also loved all manner of nursery rhymes; from the Childcraft Bk One, to Mother Goose, and many others. We spent many happy hours reading them over and over. And the Fairy Tale book illustrated by Scott Gustavson has well written text to read along with his beautiful pictures.<br /><br />Thanks Ariel. I'm glad I have not run out of children to read to. And I hope I never will. Bring those little ones over any time, my darlins'.Jan Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06388290408910526657noreply@blogger.com
