Today’s collection. The Lego one actually has instructions for making stuff instead of being an ideas-only book!
I grabbed Ceremony so we could do more talking about celebrations besides Christmas.

Our hits so far:
- Du iz tak? Funny silly play on language. And good bug stuff.
- Guji Guji - Good sense of humor, fun for both parent and kid
- Shadow - Reads this over and over. No words. Just telling stories. His preferred medium.
- The Night gardener! He’s requested it a few times, really enjoys the pictures

So far we’ve read the plants that never bloom book and she loved it. It has a nice rhyme to it. Very throw back illustrations, not necessarily a good way but nostalgic 
. A certain 90s goodwill science book vibe.
ETA the one her foot is covering is called “sidewalk flowers”

I’m curious how she’ll like Pete the Cat. Kiddo loves them, he actually brought home two Pete books from the school library last week.

Yes! She’s never read one before, we’ll see. Is there much misbehavior suggestion? I planned to review before reading to her but we’ll see if I get the chance!

Mostly no. The bedtime/sleepover book has the friends fidgeting and making noise instead of going to sleep, but then Pete reads everyone a bedtime story and they go to sleep. I can’t think of any other negative behavior stuff in the umpteen Pete books we’ve read.
On a related note, I’m smuggling our copy of Don’t Let Pigeon Drive the Bus to the donation bin this week.

Sick of it? 
Whose Footprints by Gerda Muller is fantastic. Sweet little brain twister as you figure out what they’re doing. All her stuff is excellent. Gorgeous illustrations, too.
It always ends up being read at bedtime and Kiddo always must act like the pigeon. 
Every. Single. Time.

Thank god Duckling identifies with the person yelling No.

I had a colleague who found Pete emotionally repressive because he doesn’t cry. I think it’s okay to send the message that maybe try just walking along and singing your song instead of crying, if you just have wet feet. I love Pete personally. He understands me- I have owned this shirt twice.

We read this at the library today. You should all read it even though you will definitely cry
