The Little Red Hen

from

Golden Books definitely are all classics.  This one is another one of N's favorites, we read it several times a day.  He tries to say red hen and it comes out like, "He Hen," so funny.  I loved this story growing up and it has a good moral like many of the Golden Books do. 

This was a gift from one of N's showers...Books are always such a great gift.  It is also funny because many of the old ones we have were like 49 cents and now they are like $2.99 or more - inflation!
So, if it's been a while, find yourself a copy of The Little Red Hen and reminisce!

Book review: Donkey-Donkey

credit

First off, we are still here. We have had computer problems and, most recently, camera problems that have plagued us. So hopefully I will be posting more frequently in the days to come.

I decided to start doing recommendations of our favorite books, and by our, I mean Nathan's...Reading has become a favorite activity of his, and I am so happy because I think it has helped his development so much. The boy is talking very well, putting two and three words together and I think it is in large part to how much he loves story time.

My mom brought so many of my brother's and my books down so we have some oldie-but-goodies. His current favorite is Donkey-Donkey by Roger Duviosin. He gets so excited and says, "Donkey!" The story is about a donkey that decides he does not like his long ears and wants to be like a horse...Many experiments in changing his looks ensue with the help of his farmyard friends. Cute story, good moral. Again, Nathan loves it, I almost have it memorized because we read it at least two to three times daily.

Stay tuned for more reviews, most of our favorites have to do with animals, prepare yourselves.
