Another successful trip to the library! It's a two man job these days. The two of us hunts for books with Lilli as long as her attention span holds. Then once she is ready to give up the search, one of us has the duty of keeping her at a respectful volume in the play area until it's time to leave. Meanwhile, the other continues the search for the best books. We usually try to get one to three night time books to help her unwind at the end of the day. The quiet and relaxing tone usually helps her get into the mindset and now she can recognize words that she associates with sleep. In most cases, we never know how good some of these books will be until we sit down to read them. Sometimes we get a winner, other times we're stuck with one that makes little to no sense. Here are a few from this week's list:
- Curious George Takes a Job by H. A. Rey
- Froggy goes to Bed by Jonathan London
- Froggy Learns to Swim by Jonathan London
- Gerald McBoing Boing by Dr. Seuss
