He would sit there, quiet as could be, taking it all in, until he fell asleep. Some of his favourites were; the nursery rhyme book Granfa' Grig Had a Pig (fabulously illustrated by Wallace Tripp); an alphabet book that was just white pages with one letter to a page in large bold black, but when you pulled a tab the letter opened up or flipped over or concealed in some way something that started with that letter (a was a long green alligator); the Sesame St. book The Monster at the End of the Book; and another Sesame St. book that had lots of tabs to pull to reveal things like Oscar in his garbage can, Bert and Ernie in the window of the New York apartment, etc. I wish we still had all of those books today. We still have the Granfa' Grig and the Monster at the End of the Book. <br /><br />Such wonderful memories you have stirred!Sandy Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12712498671084861662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4555118659128890942.post-35147807215190471992011-02-14T16:35:39.532-08:002011-02-14T16:35:39.532-08:00the youngest level of scholastic carries board boo...the youngest level of scholastic carries board books and i always watch those flyers for good deals. i've bought lots from them. also, costco has great deals on board books too! we started reading to ben when he was just 4 months as a naptime routine and it's a pretty great to see him sit down in his room by himself somedays and look at books by himself. :) a fav. series of his is the Zoe series by Barbara Reid: http://becshulba.blogspot.com/2010/11/where-is-zoe-going.htmlBen S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05511086100738637804noreply@blogger.com
