The characters in this book are so lovable and it's such an easy to read book. My granddaughter has loved this book since day one.

Scattered on our floor right now? Pepo and Lolo and the Big Red Apple by Ana Martín Larrañaga (although all her books are delightful!) Llama llama red pajama by Ana Dewdney (one of those scholastic $2 finds that we will be sure to use until it falls apart) Never Ever Shout in a Zoo by Karma Wilson Eric Carle's retelling of Aesop's Fables Ming Lo Moves a Mountain (which was one of my favorites as a LO) Cows in the Kitchen (from the time they were 10 months old or so, they have loved this book. My oldest is going on 5, and still wants to read it almost daily) Chicka Chicka Boom Boom (even my 2 year old can recite this now!) Mi Primer Libro de las Ciencias by Larousse (do they make these in english? we LOVE learning about the insides of our bodies!) Sadly, as I have all boys, we will probably never share my favorites as a child: Little Women, Ramona and Paddington - from first grade on, I read and re-read these books. so many great classics to choose from! as a kinder teacher myself, my shelves are overflowing with books…my sons somehow manage to sort through the piles and come out with the same six or seven over and over.

This is a great post and a really nice layout. My youngest (of six!) is now six, but I love books of any kind. And being a homeschooler, I think it's required. :) Kudos to you moms of little ones! .-= Alison Moore Smith´s last blog ..<a href="http://pix2brix.com/best-toys-family-games/" rel="nofollow">Best Toys: 60 Educational Family Games</a> =-.

Im the mother of a four and a half month old son. I was/am a voracious reader, so obviously I'd like to share this love with my baby. I was overwhelmed with gifts of many books when he was born, most of which could not be returned....I know what Twaddle isn't...that's pretty clear. I'm just curious if you could give some good examples of what twaddle IS? We don't do any books with commercial characters -- Disneyfied Pooh, Elmo, Mickey etc. etc. And Im pretty particular about the type of illustrations I like. I'd like to make sure that I'm reading him things that are stimulating and high quality. Perhaps someone could post a top 10 twaddle list....to help me get a more clear picture. Thanks! Andrea Hi,
