DS2 reads us whatever book he is writing at the time. The kids is such a great writer! DD1 reads us American Girl books, DS2 reads us Dr. Seuss and the baby (2) likes to listen to Thomas the Tank books. He will, however, listen to anything and enjoys it all. I do agree with Erin on Sandra Boyton, those are fun books.<br /><br />Once you hit chapter books, Magic Treehouse and Magic Schoolbus are fantastic!Kristiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04527785228545086382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2164401589480284186.post-37315363206856259952010-03-10T09:47:32.370-07:002010-03-10T09:47:32.370-07:00Oh I adore Dr. Seuss!

I think my favorite Dr. Seuss book is "The Foot Book"...just darling.<br /><br />For the younger ones, I love Sandra Boynton! She has these adorable little books with the sweetest illustrations of dogs, cats, sheep, cows, chickens, etc...I bet we have 12 of them!<br /><br />Hope you're not missing the boys too much! I have to say I wouldn't mind if my husband took our son for a couple of days to visit his parents! :) Sounds like some good girl time! Take Care! **hugs** Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05793793079637479711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2164401589480284186.post-87984605362323932082010-03-10T09:22:58.349-07:002010-03-10T09:22:58.349-07:00Best childrens book ever is written buy a man from...Best childrens book ever is written buy a man from my island (Fjørtoft). Its called "What Happened in Seaweed town" and is the story about a little fish that swims to far from his home and gets captured by a crab. It has songs and music and great drawings, and I got it for Christmas from my brother :-) <br /><br />But, I also hava one other favourite, that I got introduced to at a student party in Bergen... It is called: "The Story of the Little Mole Who Went in Search of Whodunit" It is the most hilarious book about this mole trying to find out who pooped on his head... It even has written sound effects... No wonder it was a hit amongst university students!!<br /><br />SiriSiri Fjørtoft, kaBokshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15153252227706774829noreply@blogger.com
