Favorite Books

I have always LOVED books. I passed this along to Jessica and she has passed this along to Ezra. He's been really good about grabbing a book and asking to have it read to him. He'll even grab a book before grabbing toy....not as much now that he's discovered balls, but he will still pick a book. Dave was always the fun reader...he makes funny noises, etc. I'm happy to say that I'm much better at this now.

This is "Baa". Ezra calls it that because there's a lamb in the book and we point and say "baa". The book is pretty much the drummer boy song. We sing the words and when it gets to the "parum pum" part we all stomp our feet. It's very interactive. He LOVES it. I bought it because the author is Ezra!

Ezra loves this one too. To summarize the book, there's a letter to the zoo for a pet, the zoo sends many pets that are unacceptable. The "pet" arrives in a box, you lift up the flap to see what it is. When Ezra lifts the flap to the lion, we roar loudly. There's a snake, and we hiss. It's funny because he lifts the flap and looks at the reader, waiting for the special sound effects.

But Ezra's absolute FAVORITE book to read is the "MoMo magazines". The Lad is obsessed with motorcycles....gee, I wonder why. He goes through the magazine, turning each page, pointing to each "momo" and "helm". We have at least a dozen and he goes through each one, each page. He likes to read them with G-Pa or G-Ma and we have to say "motorcycle" when he says "momo" and "helmet" when he says helmet. Dave is teaching him the names for the various parts of the bikes.
