Ivy has not been interested in Richard Scarry until recently.  She just loves his Best Little Word Book Ever.  She loves pointing at objects and having me name them.  She also knows the names of the kitties, worms, and bugs.  I am ordering more from the library right now!

Ivy has been waking up at night scared of the dark.  This new favorite of hers is about a baby owl alone in the woods - I'm Not Scared by Jonathan Allen.   The little owl keeps jumping when his friends approach.  However, he insists that he is not scared; it is owlie, his stuffed baby owl, who is scared.  It is very cute.  So cute I am ordering the next in this series about an owl - I'm Not Cute. 

I was shocked when Ivy not only allowed me to finish Ella The Elegant Elephant  by Carmella and Steven D'amico, but wanted to read it again!  It is slightly longer than her usual books, but is filled with adorable elephants cavorting in Little Village.  It is about a young elephant named Ella trying to find her place in a new school and a new town.

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!
