Since Sarah was a few months old, their grand-godpa has been stocking up their library with books that mommy thought were way too difficult for her. I was proven wrong. Sarah loves books - from Curious George, to Topsy & Tim, to Bible books and the list goes on and on. Inspired by a beautifully and thoughtfully written book about recommended children's books "Honey for a Child's Heart", mommy went on [hopefully] her last book buying spree - Bible books, Dr Suess, Chinese books etc.
I am looking forward to setting up a reading area for Sarah and Samuel so that they can get cosy reading books with Daddy and Mommy. Bought some secondhand shelves from Bookbinders and I am excited to start a reading program. One book that we picked up recently that has been a Mommy and Sarah favorite is 'The Rhyme Bible'. We read it almost every nap and bedtime since we bought it on Wed. It is so much fun all packed into short, catchy stanzas. It always brings a smile to Sarah's face:)
Another treasure that I stumbled upon from the library is 'Lost and Found' by Oliver Jeffers.
This is a beautiful story about friendship and the illustrations in watercolor are so captivating. Sarah calls it the 'Penguin' book. Our national libraries are really national treasures and I really mean it:) I hope to be able to post recommendations of the tots' fave reads on our new School of Tots site soon. So keep a lookout for it.
