I am a literacy specialist. I am also a mommy. The number one question I get from anyone who hears about these two parts of my reality? "What should I be reading with my child?" Well, here it is. I love books. My Mini loves books. Here's a little glimpse into our nerdy little lives...

What We Got At the Library This Week
Is this a totally crappy picture or what? I mean, you can see my tea kettle in the back ground. Talk about tired mommy taking a late night snap for a post! Sorry, friends.
A brief scene from my oh-so-nerdy household:
Me: Mini, want to hear the plan for today?
Mini: Yah!
Me: I thought we could go to the library.
Mini: FUN!
Me: And we could get some books.
Mini: FUN!
Me: We might even be able to read to the stuffed leopard you like so much.
Mini: FUN!
Me: And then we can take some home with us.
Mini:(Squeal of delight that may have been able to shatter glass had there been any around us)
And my nerdy little heart soared.
So here are the highlights from our weekly haul. (Please, you KNOW I actually took out closer to 20 books but didn't want to be all in-your-face with my super book-loving.)
(From top to bottom)
The Sleepy Little Alphabet: A Bedtime Story from Alphabet Town by Judy Sierra
Maisy Goes to the City by Lucy Cousins
Meeow and the Pots and Pans by Sebastien Braun
Big Red Farm by Christianne C. Jones
Welcome to the Zoo by Alison Jay
The Sleepy Little Alphabet and, of course, Maisy are old favorites and repeat offenders at our house. I think I'm most excited about the Meeow book. It's a whole series of super cute, easy to follow stories. This one is about Meeow and his friends using pots and pans to imagine being in a marching band. Cute illustrations and some nice opportunities for teaching and learning new words too.
Until next week...happy reading!
