Book Review- Monday

Busy Horsies (A Busy Book)

This is one of a several books in the "busy" series by John Schindel (a Bay Area author).  The sharp full page images of horses really grab a toddlers attention.  As you look at all through the pictures you learn what that the horsies are eating, talking, walking, rolling, racing, chasing, sleeping, leaping, nuzzling and more. I love how engaged my kids are with the book and how much rich vocabulary they are hearing at the same time.

I Love You Stinky Face

by Lisa McCourt

 My son received this book as a Christmas gift from a friend this year and it has quickly become a favorite bedtime story.  It manages to be both funny and heart warming, as a mother reassures her son that she would love  and treasure him no matter if he was a meat eating dinosaur, a super smelly skunk, or a green bug eating alien.  A definite must read!

Machines at Work by Byron Barton

This had to be one of my two year-old's favorite books.  The pictures are simple, bold, and colorful.  The language is simple, but stretches a young child's vocabulary. A perfect fit for any child who is fascinated with construction or trucks!
