Books, books, books

I know that you are all dying for pictures from our recent vacation, so in the meantime, here are some of our favorite books (and by favorite we mean read over and over and over and over- sometimes several times in a row :)


Goodnight Lulu: Gus just picked this one out yesterday- a cute story about a little chicken procrastinating going to sleep.


Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!: or any of the Pigeon books- this one is probably the favorite, but we also have Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late! and The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog! In these books the pigeon tries to negotiate different things- driving a bus, staying up late with some very creative reasoning. Gus loves to say "no Pigeon you can't drive the bus..."

Other Mo Willems books we love are the Knuffle Bunny books
Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale and Knuffle Bunny Too: A Case of Mistaken Identity


The Gruffalo: A great book that Gus received as a gift with a very funny twist and a very brave mouse.


No, David!: any of the David Shannon books are favorites in our house- Gus can pretty much recite this book to us.


Mrs. Mustard's Baby Faces: Clay often joins in during storytime with Gus, but also has a book favorite of his own and for a while this was the only way to get him to have some time on his tummy- we received this book from The folks at Addition Problems it was a hit!
