What We're Reading ~ One Sheep, Blue Sheep



This book is one that both my three year old AND my one year old love! E likes it because she gets to laugh at the silly sheep and say "Kerplunk!" and "Splat!" along with the book. C loves it mainly because of the holes in the pages and how she can grab them and turn the pages and look through. Plus, she loves sheep and says "Baa!" throughout the book.




Not only do my kids love this book, but I love it too! The verses in the book are so catchy, and it's just plain fun to read out loud. The book has five silly sheep who get covered in different colors of paint in a variety of silly ways, The kids get to learn colors, and the pictures depict a variety of farm chores, so you can talk about those too if you want.

Great board book! Definitely one of our most-read books!

Dragons Love Tacos

Dragons Love Tacos! I love this book! It's just plain silly. E loves yelling at the dragons not to eat the tacos at the appropriate moment, and I appreciate the droll humor the author employs. It's just my brand of sarcasm. There isn't a very complicated story here. The story is told through a narrator, who talks to a boy and his dog about dragons and how much they love tacos. And parties. Dragons love parties, too. But, what dragons DON'T like is spicy salsa, so whatever you do, don't give them spicy salsa. Take a wild guess what ends up happening...? Now, this book got some bad reviews on Amazon because "the story line was dull and boring" and "the lack of underlying message disappointed [her]." But come on, it's a silly book, and it's okay if your kids read something that's just plain fun sometimes. These people have no sense of fun, and you should ignore them.

Peter Pan

I love this one! Currently, E wants to be Tinker Bell for Halloween, but we'll see how long that lasts! Peter Pan is one of the books that I'm looking forward to reading with the kiddos, but they're definitely way too young for chapter books right now. Soon though! Find it here on Redbubble!  Tinker Bell

Books for Aspiring CHEFS!

If your little one wants to be a chef, or just plain loves to cook, this book list is for you! Right now my 3 year old, E, is very into cooking! She loves saying "I can help!" She'll do anything you let her do, from helping to hold a mixer, to measuring and pouring an ingredient into a bowl. These are great opportunities to teach her about the world and people around her, as well as how to actually cook. But if your kid is anything like mine, she would much rather read about it than have me "lecture" her. I won't pretend that I've actually read any of these books, but if I were going to buy books about cooking or being a chef, these would be them! Cooking Class: 57 Fun Recipes Kids Will Love to Make (and Eat!) This book is recommended for ages 6-12.
