Story Time Saturday

The weekly installment of (some of) what we're reading this week 

“Children are made readers on the laps of their parents.” 
- Emilie Buchwald





I'm thrilled to see Peter tell Rosie the stories. So much love and patience. 

Rosie's Favorites:
(Age 9 months)


Have you heard of the Indestructibles Series ? They are the absolute best. They feel like paper, crinkle like paper, but do not dissolve in the mouth or tear like paper. You can even throw them in the wash! I particularly love the beautiful watercolor pictures in the nature themed ones. Peter learned all his farm animals from Wiggle! March!


Global Babies
I wish you could hear the noises Rosie makes when we read this book! She loves looking at all the baby faces!




Peter's Favorites:
(Age 2.5) 



Choo Choo has become a 4 times a day read aloud this week. He also love to act out the story with his wooden trains. I love Virginia Lee Burton's art and storytelling.




Another Virginia Lee Burton book. Peter loves Katy and the Big Snow! Katy is a brave and untiring tractor (with both bulldozer and snowplow attachments, Peter adds). She saves the day plowing the streets. Peter love looking at the map of the city and tracing where Katy has plowed.




Locomotive by Brian Floca has fast become a favorite for the entire family. The artwork is gorgeous and detailed. It tells the historical story of a trip across the country on the transcontinental railroad. Set in 1869, we've learned a lot about the history of the early railroad and how the mighty trains work. This is about as far from twaddle as you can get!  


I hope everyone has a peaceful and nourishing weekend!
