An oldie but goodie...Ivy has enjoyed Jane Yolen's and Mark Teague's How Do Dinosaurs? for quite some time, but this week we have read How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food? a lot.  She loves the names of the dinosaurs and laughs at them eating their food.  The rhymes are adorable.

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.                        

As fall approaches, Ivy's book tastes turn from beach reads to sleeping animals!  Her latest obsession is How Do You Sleep? by Louise Bonnett-Rampersaud.  She has memorized most of the last words due to the melodic rhymes.

Ivy has been asking for "Silly Sally" by Audrey Wood and yelling, "Buy that!" In an attempt to discourage greed, mommy ordered it from the library.  We have read it four times tonight! 

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!
