Books we read, January 5th

Posted By Barbara On January 5, 2007 @ 11:16 pm In Songs, Books, Uncategorized | 1 Comment

It was a whirlwind evening in our house with Melissa over for supper. Reid and I read [1] Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See by [2] Bill Martin Jr and illustrated by [3] Eric Carle. In my hoarse voice, I sang/read [4] This Little Light of Mine. Reid likes the song, I think, but also the pictures of babies and the sunrise and other images that illustrate the book.

When we got into bed tonight, Reid asked me to sing a song. I used to sing to her often but she told me to stop so often that I haven’t offered for a while. She chose “Wheels on the Bus” and did all of the actions (but I wasn’t allowed to do so), even suggesting some of the verses. I am hoping that sining a song counts as literacy building since we read only the two books today.

Update: When I got up on Saturday, I noticed that I hadn’t put [5] Mommy? by [6] Maurice Sendak back on the shelf last night. What a fabulous and intricate pop up book that is. It turns out we did read three books on the 5th.
