I can't believe I just haven't written anything in so long. And I'm sad, becuase there have been so many AWESOME books (and a few flops) that T and I have borrowed, haven't written down and will probably not remember when we want to take them out again. Poo!
Well, we've relocated and live VERY close to a library. We love this library- especially on rainy days, which we've had our fair share of lately- and really hot days, which we've had a few of too. This library is HUGE. It reminds me of a college library due to the size and all the computers, but it has a kids room. An entire wing/room just for kids, full of books, movies, small tables, computers and toys. Yup, toys. We go and play for hours until I realize it's time for lunch and naps. The boys love it.
Our first few books from there weren't loves. Detective Dinosaur is the only one I can remember the name of. We liked it but T often asked for his own books to be read, not that one. I'll admit, a few times I actually begged him to read it with me. The book has 3 stories in it where he is solving mysteries: 1. he lost his hat and is on the hunt for it. 2. his shoe squeaks when he walks and is trying to find out what the cause is. 3. he's on night patrol and hears some loud noise come from an alley, then sees a large shadow and tries to determine what it is.
This time around- Huge Hits! Firefighters in the Dark is about a little girls dreams of the firefighters, all their bravery and causes of fires. At first I was nervous T would be scared of a few pages, but he loved it- asked for it a second time before we even finished the book, then continued to look at it while he laid in bed for nap. We'll all go exploring is another book we enjoy. It's about a few friends who explore through the trees of various areas and what they will see. Flap your Wings is a Cat in the Hat book- The author takes the reader through the journey of a mysterious egg in a birds nest. I think it has a great meaning in it. Mr. Bird insists they take care of the egg, even though it's not theirs. Then it hatches and he continues to insist they take care of the 'bird' that is clearly not one of them, and teaches him to fly... or does he?
We'll be doing a lot of reading this Summer!
