If Carson Had to Pick a Favorite...

Carson, my 1 1/2 year old, LOVES books....almost as much as I do :)
She has a lot of favorites that we read over and over again! What I have found with her is that she loves the same books read to her and sometimes resists hearing new books- until I make them exciting and fun!
If I had to put together a top ten list of Carson's favorite books for this month (because they change every month)- here it is. Check these out at your library or book store!

10. What's Your Sound Hound the Hound by Mo Willems (This is part of the Cat the Cat series...we love all four in the series but especially this one!)
9. Fifteen Animals by Sandra Boynton (All of the animals in this book are named Bob. Carson called me Bob for a few days after I introduced her to this book.)
8. The Foot Book by Dr. Seuss
7. If You're Happy and You Know It (Jungle Edition)
6. Where is the Green Sheep by Mem Fox
5. Whose Baby Am I? by John Butler (She has loved this board book since she was a tiny baby.)
4. Higher Higher by Leslie Patricelli (She can almost read this whole books. The words are just Higher and Hi Five. She loves to point to all of the objects she sees in the background and say them- plane, balloon, baby, dog, etc.)
3. Knuffle Bunny by Mo Willems
2. Too Purpley by Jean Reidy (This is the first book that made her laugh. She has loved this since she was 9 months. It is a perfect book to hold a baby/toddler's attention. Short and easy to read but fun. A little girl cannot decide what she wants to wear and dislikes everything her mom picks out. Too purpley, too tickly, too puckery, too prickly! For boys, there is Too Pickley about a boy who does not like any food. These are soon coming out in board books too!)

1. Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus by Mo Willems. 
(I am lucky because this is one of my favorites too! She just loves to keep telling the Pigeon "NO" every time he asked us if he can drive the bus! This is a funny interactive book and you will quickly see that all children just LOVE that Pigeon. This is a hit with all elementary children too.)

***Did you know the Pigeon has his own website: http://www.pigeonpresents.com/. This is great for children, parents, and teachers!
