Favorite Books

I've been trying to take the kids to the library every few weeks (the books are due every 3 weeks) and we recently made a trip last weekend.  Saturday was a little hot but I wanted to get out of the house and walk around a bit somewhere so I decided to head downtown.  We parked in the parking garage a ways down so we could walk around a bit to and from the library and it was the perfect distance for Zoe.

We didn't get as many books as last time, but we did get a few that are our new favorites.

My sister got Zoe a book a while back called "Knuffle Bunny" by Mo Willems and Zoe absolutely LOVES it and we read it at least once a day.  So we discovered a few more books by Mo called "Knuffle Bunny Too", "City Dog, Country Frog" and then "Edwina-The Dinosaur Who Didn't Know She was Extinct".  We've read Edwina two nights in a row so far.  :)



There's also "Iggy Peck, Architect" by Andrea Beaty.  I love the illustrations in this book...It's what drew me to it!



Zoe wanted the book "No More Kissing!" because it had monkeys on the cover!  It's a super cute book.  It's by Emma Chichester Clark.


Books can be a little pricey-especially when you have a 2 year old who can easily destroy a nice book, but once you find ones your child wants to read over and over, it's worth the investment!  We have a great thrift store who is known for their selection of books, so we've found a lot of great finds there.  But they're mostly "older" books.  I need to do more online shopping...There are some great deals that way!
