Books for the little ones...

I started reading to Luke when he was in-utero. I'm not even sure he could hear yet. But when you're a 2nd grade teacher and you read aloud on a daily basis, it just works out that way. Right? Once he was born, I still made a point to read to him each day. These were some of his favorite books (and mine!).
Whose Baby Am I? by John Butler
My favorite thing about the book? The pictures! Those babies are TOO adorable!
Here are a few others by the same author/illustrator: Whose Nose & Toes?, Who Says Woof?, Can You Cuddle Like a Koala?.
Another favorite of ours, especially right before bed, is Time for Bed by Mem Fox.
This soft story practically lulls you to sleep with it's rhyming & repetition... but in a good way.
And lastly, the book I swear I've read a million times. Ten Little Racing Cars (although I think ours is Ten Little Race Cars... same book, though.)
"Race cars, race cars ready set go... uh, oh purple car's way too slow." Yep, I still remember the words. And I give partial credit to this book for Luke learning his colors at age two.
*sigh* These books take me back. Makes me miss my baby. *sniff*
Happy reading!

I love reading posts about favorite books - it's always great to see what others like and then try them out for ourselves!
I read to my kids alot when they were little too. We really loved Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein. I also loved the book "The Sharing Tree" and the one where the caterpillar eats through the book...The Hungry Caterpillar I think it was called. Oh and Curdoroy!! And harold and the purple crayon. Now you have me reminicing LOL.
My kids love story time & reading books.
Lovely to read that John Butler's book, Whose Baby Am I, was a favourite book for you and your son. It was a little while ago that you wrote about this, but I thought I'd just let you know that his adorable illustrations are now available for the first time as prints for little ones. As his daughters, my sister and I have recently set up a family run company - www.littlebluezebra.com - specialising in baby animal pictures, all featuring the artwork of John Butler. We send them worldwide so they are available for children all around the world to enjoy.
