I love books...and it is a struggle to not buy TOO many children's books...but it is hard when there are SO many great and wonderful books out there. We DO use the library...lots...but sometimes CO finds a book and neither of the two libraries we have access to (or their interloan library families) have more books by the authors we are growing to love so much.
we discovered some art books by James Mayhew. We came across the one shown above and I was amazed at how quickly CO followed along with happening in the story (the girl goes IN the paining) and I loved how it was exposing him to 'art' and 'artists'. I don't really feel I was exposed to 'art' or 'artists' in my own education so if I can expose him through books....even greater...
well the libraries don't have any more in the series...so I am trying to watch for them on sale through amazon and try to resist the temptation to buy them all :)
Another author I really enjoy is Lynley Dodd and fortunately I inherited most of the author's books from my sister's library. The rhyming and repeat phrases in these stories are lots of fun and the stories are mostly about adventures of dogs and cats which are perfect for my little one who loves animals.
