I was happy to learn Damon kept one part of Fuller’s routine when I was gone- they both went to story time at the local library branch.
Tonight I went through the books they checked out and Fuller was enthusiastic about all of them. I might need Damon to help Fuller pick out books more often, the ones I get aren’t always so awesome.
It is our usual routine to head to storytime and then afterward we pick out up to five books to read during the coming week. I thought it would be fun to share what we read from week to week.
Danny and the Dinosaur
– Fuller enjoys dinosaurs and has seen this book at the Creative Discovery Museum. He gets a kick out of a kid riding a dinosaur and wonders when he can do the same.
Little White Dog – this is a very visual book, challenging the kids to find the animals in the pictures. Fuller did this very easily, and thought it was fun.
Go Away, Big Green Monster! – As you turn the pages the monster appears. And after getting to the midway point, it starts to go away. It is rather silly and apparently has been loved by many, as the ripped cutouts can attest. It was Fuller’s favorite, according to Damon.
Tuba Lessons – The story is told in pictures, allowing for you or Fuller to narrate, explaining how the boy is late to the tuba lesson due to his imagination and interaction with animals. Fuller kept returning to a picture of a bear, which he later imitated when he gave me a bear hug. Any book that gets me a hug gets my thumbs up.
Tractor – Kids who like tractors will like this book for the artistic pictures and the explanation of how the machinery is used during the life cycle of sweet corn. Fuller liked learning what each thing did and wanted to know when we could have corn.
I love the variety of books Fuller enjoys and look forward to helping him pick out more tomorrow. If you want some other great kid book reviews, check out Read to Me, Dad. It’s a blog by my friend Drew who reviews books and keeps us up to date on his darling daughter, Eva.
