Llama Llama

Last night Ivy and I were at Tatnucks, and Ivy had me read every Llama, Llama book by Anna Dewdney in the store.  She just adores them.  The llama behaves in a toddler typical fashion, something she relates to easily.  One of her favorites is Llama, Llama Misses Mama.  She makes her daddy read it when I am away.

Even though this is a bit of a "baby" book, Ivy loves Usbourne's Baby's Very First Series.  On every trip to the library she pulls any book from this series off the shelves.  She loves them because she can "read" them to me.  There is only one word per page with a picture.  An excellent choice for any baby/toddler.  Below is one of her favorites.                        

Another Victoria Kann book has surfaced as a favorite.  Ivy is quite interested in the plight of young Pinkalicious.  All of her friends now like black.  What is she to do?  Fortunately, she finds a new friend  who appreciates the power of pink.  Check out Purplicious by Victoria Kann. 

Although this was not a favorite of Ivy's at first, it now is!! For all of you Austen fans... A BabyLit board book....Little Miss Austen Pride and Prejudice by Jennifer Adams.  It is really cute and a great counting book!  I am anxiously awaiting Little Miss Miss Bronte Jane Eyre.

Ivy's POW: Pick of the Week

A little reading during the hurricane....Ivy just loves Pinkalicious by Victoria and Elizabeth Kann.  She is going through a 100% pink phase.  This book fits her stage perfectly.  She can even say, "Pinkalicious"!

Ivy's POW: Pick of the Week

There is something about Lucy Cousins's drawings that attracts toddlers.  I have done some research on this.  Ivy is no different.  She adores it.  One of her best friends, Blayke, came over yesterday.  "Maisy Big, Maisy Small" was one of the first books she picked up!  This is a bit long, but Ivy has almost memorized all of the opposites!
