Books We Read Today

Go, Baby, Go! by Jorge Uzon
Babies and toddlers love photographs, especially of faces. It is one of the first things babies connect with. This book makes me want to have a  book of my daughter's photos for her. Hmmm... I can see a family project in our future. This is a day-in-the-life of a busy toddler.



  
  

I Love You Baby from Head to Toe! by Karen Pandell; illustrated by Jane Cowen-Fletcher
This lovely book is done in crayon and colored pencil. It's quite lyrical. Seemingly simple, it has a subtle complexity. (For example, "Baby's skin is as smooth as petals.") There's lots to explore on each page, but it isn't busy. Great for a quiet snuggle. As board books go, it is a bit larger, so it would work for a small group.

Where is Baby? by Sally Rippin
Simple board book with bright, bold colors (which are easy for little babies to see). Each page asks "Where is baby?" with answers in rhyme. For the older toddler, you can also search for the three little friends of the three babies--frog, parrot and bear.
