Biscuit and the Baby is by far her favorite, and we both have the whole thing memorized. But now that CC is a big girl, she can read them to me. I was so excited that she is now sounding out word and putting them together to make a sentence, that we jumped on the chance to go to Barnes and Nobles and get some new books. Mark was off today, and we promised CC that if she got a green at school we'd go to the bookstore. We came home with three I Can Read Series Books, Snow White, Cinderella and Olivia.
CC had so much fun looking through all the books. She looked through all the books looking for a number one specifying her reading group. We made a deal that every 5 greens CC gets at school, we'll go back to the bookstore and pick out another I Can Read Book. We can't wait! Let's hope we go frequently.
We also realized that CC has NO ballerina books!! How is that? Our little ballerina princess has no books about ballet!! So while we were at the bookstore we stumbled upon the Ballet Kitty books.
Which is perfect!! CC loves kitties. We read it tonight before bed, and CC loved it. So anyone who is looking for an alternative to Angelina Ballerina....
Does anyone have any reading tips or series their kids really like??
My very favorite book as a small child was the Read it Yourself Storybook. It has a handful of short stories, all cute & fun. We have 2 copies here!
