Reading with Teddy

One of the best things about being a Nana is sharing books with my grandson. There are so many wonderful reading days ahead of us! He already loves holding small board books and looking at the illustrations--doesn't seem to matter that sometimes they are upside down. :)  

So, from time to time, I'll post what Teddy and I have been reading and maybe talk about our walks to the library.  I also keep my additions to his bookshelf posted here at Goodreads.

New for Teddy in February...

WE LOVE EACH OTHER by Yusuke Yonezu
Two red birds snuggle up to form a heart; blue mice lean together to form a triangle--clever cutouts and mirror images convey a message of love.


SMALL BUNNY'S BLUE BLANKET by Tatyana Feeney
Simple line drawings of a bunny with his blue blanket confronting that moment when blankie needs to go in the wash. 



CORDUROY by Dan Freeman
This story of a department store bear setting out to find the missing button for his overalls was one of my daughter's favorite books.


A BOOK OF BABIES by Il Sung Na
The illustrations in this book are wonderfully colorful and will be enjoyed now. The story of different families will be appreciated later.

How wonderful, Marcia! Shaylyn and I read a lot of books together last year. Most were too "middle school" for my taste, but we both loved Junonia by Kevin Henkes. I can't wait to read more with her this coming summer.

It is a lot of fun, Les. I am eager to see which one of the books in the basket will be that "go to" book that we end up reading every day!

So sweet Marcia! Can't wait to see what other books you share with him as the years go by....

This is a wonderful idea which I've been thinking about doing myself in the future!
Corduroy was one of my kids' faves!
