Tales of Life with a Girl on the Go

As with most Sundays, it was a family-focused:

• My Daddy Snores by Nancy H. Rothstein, an amusing tale about a snoring daddy intended as a way to start a discussion about sleep disorders with a matching support/information site at www.mydaddysnores.com;
• Shapes, Shapes, Shapes by Tana Hoban, a book that is intended to help kids notice shapes in everyday settings, square windows, triangles in the ironwork of bridges, and so on;
• Alpha Bugs by David A Carter, the perfect book for a girl who loves both letters and pop-ups and pull tabs;
• There’s Only One of Me! by Pat Hutchins, which makes Reid smile as all of those relatives are listed and gives us an opportunity to discuss the names of her aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc.;
• Care Bears Nighty Night (no author); an unusual choice for the middle of the afternoon, perhaps, and mind-numbing the third time through in a single sitting but Reid’s choice nonetheless;
• Shiny Dinah by Susan James, Reid enjoys this book and so I will have to suggest we play with her train set tomorrow. It doesn’t get as much attention as I had hoped;
• Stephanie’s Ponytail by Robert Munsch. Reid knows when Stephanie will say “no” to the various ponytail options and also the “Ugly, ugly, very ugly,” that the kids say about each new style and Stephanie’s reply, “It’s my ponytail and I like it,” with appropriate emphasis.
• Angela’s Airplane by Robert Munsch, in which a little girl’s father gets lost at the airport and she gets into an airplane while looking for him, oh, and flies it after pushing “just one button”, several times;
• Good Night, Little One: A Lift-the-Flap book by Salina Yoon. Reid giggles just a little giggle when she sees the little child hiding under the bed and the Mama says, “Under the bed? No, not under the bed.” It is a great way to end our evening.
