What We Are Reading Lately...


We have visited the library a lot this past week with all of the rain. We selected a variety of books to read.

There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bat - L. Colandro
a variation on There Was an Old Lady... cute for Halloween, but the rhyming is very awkward - the twins like it.

Ten in the Den - J. Butler
a version of the song Ten in the Bed/Roll Over - this is really cute - my daughter loves it. Great to read after reading or singing the original book or song.

Are You Ready to Play Outside? - M. Willems
this is our first book we have read in the Elephant and Piggie series. Just as cute as Mo's picture books - we will be checking out more soon. The twins love it.

Duck at the Door - J. Urbanovic
we read Duck Soup first by mistake, but this is the first book with Duck and Brody and friends. I like it much better and so do the twins. They like reading while holding the Max duck from Kohl's.

Maisy at the Library - L. Cousins
Big big Maisy fans in this house. We like these newer Maisy books - especially when she visits our favorite place. We also love visiting the Maisy Fun House website.

One Duck Stuck - P. Root
this is a book I have seen on many lists for toddlers and we finally read it. The twins love repeating the "I Will I Will" phrase. Cute read aloud.

Great recommendations, especially since your children are about my daughter's age. We are Maisy's fans here as well. I'll look for your books next week.
