A fun read

We also discovered this great book at the library. The catchy rhymes are so much fun that my 2-1/2 yr old even remembers bits of them & repeats them throughout the day. A book I don't mind reading to him over & over again.

Remember the simple joys of childhood

I fell in love with this book when my three-year-old brought it home from the public library. While it seems to be geared to a slightly older age group (4-6 maybe), she loves it, too, because it describes things that happen in a small child's day that are insignificant to us, but very significant to them. From finding shoes and catching bugs to taking a bath and going to sleep at night, the child (in this case a boy) is just small/quick/calm/etc. enough to do the things he wants to do all by himself. Written in such a way that makes parents see life again from a child's point of view and reminds us to recognize those simple everyday accomplishments of our growing children. I love it.
