Books of the Week – April 10, 2010

 


Creaky Old House, by Linda Ashman
image This is a super fun book to read.  It’s got rhyming, humor, great pictures to examine… everything.   We all love this book.  It was just a random find at the library, but I’m so glad we brought it home.  If you have a less than perfect house that is just fine the way it is because it’s lived in, I think you’ll enjoy this one.  M picks it every day and I’m always glad to see it in the pile. :)

Rabbits and Raindrops, by Jim Arnosky
imageI highly recommend anything written by Jim Arnosky – his illustrations of wildlife and nature never disappoint and I always find his writing soothing, calming… just beautiful.  This was the first time we’ve read this particular book and it’s lovely… little bunnies get out of a rainstorm by huddling up under some overhanging leaves.  Soon a hummingbird, butterfly and other small creatures join them there.   Honestly, sometimes I’m glad I have a 3 year old just so I can read books like this!  Oh, and M recommends it too. :)
Check out Mouse Grows, Mouse Learns for more book recommendations!
Have a beautiful day! :)
