Sing-a long board books


Sing a long stories
by Mary Ann Hoberman
board books
5/5



These board books came together as a collection of sing a longs. The Eenesy-Weensy Spider, The Wheels on the Bus and I know an old lady. Kyla and I have really enjoyed reading The Wheels on the bus and The Eensey Weensy Spider because we do a finger play with them as we read. These two books deviate from the shorter versions and have a little bit more of an adventurous side to them. The best part about these books is that they came with a cassette tape that we play in the car. The books are sung in a catchy tune and have become a hit!

Story time! The Eensy Weensy Spider. WARNING! I know I have a childish voice on camera and radio!! Its annoying. I try so hard not to sound so babyish. Not working! however this is my time with my daughter and I want to save some of her favorite stories for the years to come.

What will Fat Cat sit on?


What will fat cat sit on?
by Jan Thomas
young children
5/5
.
What a dilemma for fat cat! Where to sit? On cow? On chicken? What about dog? hmm.. only the little mouse knows where fat cat can sit. I love reading books to Kyla that involve more interaction and creative play than simply reading out loud. We sat and read this book together, made funny sounds and we were both relieved when fat cat finally had a place to sit other then on his friends. Now that he has a nice soft place to sit a new dilemma arises "What will fat cat eat?" This is such a great book that encourages small children to get excited about beginning to read. Its simple and full of silly animals.

Duck on a Bike

Duck on a Bike
By David Shannon
5*/5

We all have them. Those memories of books we once read when we were young. Duck on a Bike by David Shanon is one of those enjoyable children's books. Kyla and I first encountered it at our Public Library and since bought a copy of our own. I wanted to point out the illustrations which were rich in color and the animal sounds we read out loud were a lot of fun. Lets not forget the variety of bikes. Every time we read this book together, to many to count, we found something new in the illustrations. For example, Two round pigs on a tandem as opposed a red hen on a tricycle. I think she will remember this book for a long time. I know I will because of the time we spent together.
