No, No, Gnome! by Ashlyn Anstee: This book was so cute and Wyatt just cracked up while I was reading it to him. Like really really laughed. Lol.
Hector and Hummingbird by Nicholas John Frith: I loved this book - just the colors alone were amazing.
Verdi by Janell Cannon: I had read Stella Luna before but never Verdi. I enjoyed this book about growing up and this book made me realize Wyatt is really listening to me when I read to him, because when I read a part about Verdi biting a fish on the nose, Wyatt turned around to show me his nose. It was cute. I love that kid. Lol.
The Umbrella by Jan Brett: One of Wyatt's grandmothers went to Costa Rica for two weeks so we checked this book out to read about the types of animals she might see. We will find out soon if she saw any of these guys! I love Jan Brett.
If I had a Gryphon by Vikki Vansickle: LOVED this book!!! So fun and imaginative.
If You Happen to Have a Dinosaur by Linda Bailey and Colin Jack: Much in the vein of If You Had a Gryphon, but with dinosaurs. I loved it but then I love dinosaurs. Wyatt seemed to enjoy the illustrations.
Up in the Garden, Down in the Dirt by Kate Messner: A very quiet, gentle book. Wyatt and I read it in the evening after his bath. It was the perfect time to read although before an afternoon nap would work too.
These look great! My daughter is having a baby boy in July. He's the first grandchild and we are getting excited. It's time to get back to children's books.
ReplyDeleteExciting!!! He will be here very soon. :) Congratulations!!
DeleteThese look like such fun books. I miss picture books sometimes. My daughters used to find tons at the local bookstore in SF.
ReplyDeleteI love picture books - thank you Wyatt for giving me a reason to hang out in the picture book section of the library again! Lol.
DeleteAll of these books look amazing. I can't wait until my little guy actually understands what I'm reading - and, you know, actually looks at the book as I'm reading it to him. :)
ReplyDeleteLol!! Just keep reading to him! We have been reading to Wyatt since day 3 and he loves books already. I am sure it is because we have been reading to him his whole life. But it was pretty cool when I realized he was actually really listening and paying attention. :)
DeleteMy daughter's 1st grade class did a unit on Jan Brett and they read "The Umbrella" and she really loved it!
