My 5 year old likes books. My 2 year old LOVES books. He will sit on my lap and let me read him 10 books in a row. Or he’ll sit on the couch and flip through several by himself. It’s just the sweetest thing.
One of our favorite series of books is by Stella Blackstone. When Max was young someone gifted us ‘Bear on a Bike’ and we’ve been hooked ever since. The Blackstone writes these books is in rhyme, and I’m not sure how, but my husband and I usually read them as a ‘rap,’ which gets the boys really into the stories! Here are our favorites:
Elephant and Piggie books STILL crack us up! We have read those books for years. I could totally pick one up, right now, read it to my kids, and someone would laugh so hard that they would cry! 🙂
I need to look into these, my daughter is the same way. She's 2 and spends easily 80% of her day \”reading\” to herself, her stuffed animals, the dogs…every 5 minutes she will have a tantrum if I don't read something to her haha. We're always on the lookout for a new interesting book series for her!
Thank you for sharing these! My 16 month old is Obsessed with books and I need to update her collection!
