Curious George - The Complete Adventures

We love this book!

This Christmas my friend and her hubby gave this book to Annabelle as a gift. Each morning we read to Annabelle (a bible story first) from this book. It has TONS of stories about Curious George but it almost has the feel of a chapter book for little ones. Annabelle is not able to sit through a whole story, but we just read to her until she gets distracted and then we mark our place. The next day we pick back up in the story at the point in the story where we left off.
She seems to love the colors and the pages are so big that they capture her attention for awhile.

I am certain that we will begin reading this book again when she is a little older. I think children of all ages would enjoy this book. It seems like it could be pretty easy for children who are learning to read too.

Usbourne books are favorites of Abbie's. She got one called "Curly's Friends" as a gift when she was born, and it was - and still is among - her absolute favorite books.

These books have patches of different textures, some have flaps as well. Abbie recently was given a farmyard book with feely patches and flaps - and I like that the animals all keep the same names in this series...Curly is always the pig, Daisy is always the cow, etc. These books are geared to help kids learn, and they grow with them. They all have a duck - some have a mouse - that you can search for on every page, and Abbie is just getting the hang of that, so the book is good for infants through a year or two. There is also a series of these I have seen at our library called, "That's not my ..." (fill in the blank ith doll, train, cat, etc.)

Doggies!

Our daughter loves when we read this book to her. She is nearly 4 weeks old and loves to listen to the many different dog barks and woofs! It is short and entertaining!

Babies on the Go

Babies on the Go by Linda Ashman is one of my, and LG's, favorites.

It's about how baby animals are carried or move when they are little and the pictures of the animals are very realistic. It has unusual animals like an anteater and a koala in it which is fun. It also has a really sweet message that I won't spoil for y'all :o)

We've checked this one out at the library several times already.

first 100 words- bright baby

first 100 words by bright baby is an awesome book! It is a large board book with pictures and words on every page of basic things in a baby's life. LG loves looking at all the pictures and will point along as we read out what they are.

This is one of those books that can keep her occupied for a loooong time! (Like 5 mintues! amazing!!)

Welcome to Baby Book Club!

So glad that you've decided to join in on the discussion at Baby Book Club! This blog is designed as to be a community where moms (and dads!) can share some of their kiddos favorite books. It's our hope that through this we'll encourage reading as a family starting at an early age and we'll save ourselves the hassle of trying to constantly figure out what books are good.

Your postings about favorite books don't have to be fancy!! It's enough to say, "Check out Biscuit Loves School. Emily really loved this book! It has lift-the-flaps on each page which is a favorite for her right now."
