However, in preparation for these young gentleman, and their Texas cousins, I go on a treasure hunt in the children's department of my public library. My grandsons know what they like - solid story lines, vivid illustrations, and an animated narrator! Their young minds are ready to engage, so their Oma has to be ready.
On Tuesday night, I have books about dinosaurs, firefighters, and a green monster set to go.
I'd like to recommend a couple of books that were big hits from a previous reading session:
Press here by Hervé Tullet (clever text that encourages young readers with interactive instructions to press the colorful dots on the pages, then shift the book this way and that to see where the dots will move - very engaging)
Jake goes peanuts by Michael Wright (Jake is a picky eater. My daughter and I had to laugh about the reference to Jake's dislike of tuna casserole. His parents try a diet of everything peanut butter, which convinces the little boy that maybe a variety of foods
isn't such a bad thing)
So here's to snuggling up with a some of my favorite readers and sharing some really good books!

Your adventurous readers are so lucky to have a librarian for an Oma! I know that I'm an avid reader because of the influence of my Aunt Helen, who took me to the library every Saturday until I could go by myself. If the love of books is instilled at a young age, it lasts a lifetime.
ReplyDeleteJojo has definitely picked up your love of reading! If he wakes up before the rest of us (which he often does!) he'll quietly sit on the floor in our room to read and read until we're ready to start the day. Such a sweet little morning tradition he has started, and I knew his Oma would be proud :)
