My daughter and I have shared many great reads this past year, but some certainly stand out. Here’s some of our favorites!
1. Ten Little Ladybugs by Melanie Gerth
When my daughter was very young, she loved staring at the bright colors, and as she grew more aware she loved rubbing her tiny fingers over the ladybug shapes and into each of the holes in the pages. This book is still one of her favorites.
2. Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons by James Dean
Not exactly the typical baby book, this one my daughter loves due to the repetition, and sing-songy tone used when reading it aloud. It has sure brought about lots of baby giggles from her!
3. Ladybug Girl and her Mama by Jacky Davis
Admittingly, I may have enjoyed reading this book more than my little one, but what mother wouldn’t enjoying reminiscing about their day with their babes. It was always a nice way to wind down for the evening.
4. Hug You, Kiss You, Love You by Joyce Wan
By far our favorite this year. When my little girl was just two months old she would smile and coo at the whimsical characters created by Joyce Wan. Now, at almost twelve months it has become such an interactive story for us to enjoy together … well if she let’s me turn the pages that is. =)
