Books we read, March 17th

It was a day full of books and I feel like I should state that we do other things with Reid other than read. She and I went out for breakfast and shopping in the morning and in the afternoon she and Ken built with Legos and wooden blocks and also played with playdough. Still, we read:

[1] Stephanie’s Ponytail and [2] Jonathan Cleaned Up and Then He Heard a Sound by [3] Robert Munsch, both from the Munsch Treasury Reid had me pick up as we left her room in the morning;
[4] The Cat in the Hat at bedtime and [5] The Cat in the Hat Comes Back after our naptime by [6] Dr Seuss. It doesn’t matter if you read them out of order, they still make sense;
[7] How Do Dinosaurs Learn Their Colors? by [8] Jane Yolen, and, yes, it was hard to spell colour without the “u”. This book would be good for the dinosaur-obsessed kid since it contains the names of each of the dinosaurs pictured and maybe that will be Reid one day, she did have me repeat the names a couple of times;
[9] Blue Hat, Green Hat by [10] Sandra Boynton, a book that, technically, Reid read to me as she provided all of the words;
[11] A Dragon in a Wagon by [12] Jane Belk Moncure, which is a primer on transportation and given my previous work, it seems like I should impart this knowledge;
[13] When Will It be Spring? by Catherine Walters, Reid and I enjoy this one. It makes me think of when Reid wakes up and asks if it is “waking up time”. I am not sure why Reid likes it;
[14] The First Day of Winter by [15] Denise Fleming, a counting book that seemed appropriate as we are getting still more snow today and it is about a snowman’s “… 2 bright blue mittens and a red hat with a gold snap”;
[16] The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog! by [17] Mo Willems, I love the dialogue between the duckling and the pigeon and the fact that the pigeon shares even though he never intended to;
[18] Sheep in a Jeep by [19] Nancy Shaw, a silly rhyme with pretty pencil drawings;
[20] Mouse Count by Ellen Stoll Walsh, who also wrote [21] Mouse Paint. Ken considers this book a bit dark since it is about a snake who counts mice as he puts them into a jar with the intention of eating them (but they escape). Reid didn’t seem particularly interested in the storyline;
[22] Portable Universe: Sun, illustrated by Sabrina Orlando, a poem that talks about the relationship between the earth and the sun in terms of seasons, the length of the year, etc.; and
[23] Good Night, Little One by [24] Salina Yoon, for once as the last book before we shut the light out.
