Children's Books

I have a new favorite author: Leslie Patrucelli
We were first introduced to her books around Levi's birthday. We read 'The Birthday Box'
View Item Details

It's a cute book about a diaper wearing baby who thinks he got an awesome box for his birthday {he really got a puppy in the box!} and plays all sorts of games with the puppy and box. Ever since the book, Levi will put a box of any kind on his head and say he's a robot!

This last trip to the library I found a whole bunch more. The pictures are colorful, and very basic, which, I think, helps Levi focus on what is correlating to the words. Our new favorites from Leslie Patricelli :

Big Little, No No Yes Yes, Quiet Loud

Then we found a fun action one with a cute message about bouncing and bumping is better than not bouncing at all:

ish and the dot both by Peter H. Reyonds
