Being a teacher means that books and reading are a huge part of my life. For as long as I can remember, I have loved reading and being read to.
At this point Baby S has more books than clothes, and I hope this is a trend we continue through his or her life. I want my child(ren) to develop a deep love of reading since it truly does open doors (cliche, I know!). School always came so much easier to me since reading was not chore for me like it was for most other kids.
I just bought the two books pictured above on Tuesday night when I was shopping for books for a coworker who is expecting on March 7th (I am so freaking excited to meet her little boy!). Obviously I couldn't not get something for my baby. When I read these books I fell in love. I could totally visualize the two of us reading our daddy and mommy stories and acting out all the kissing with the baby (kissing the baby, not each other!). I am sure these will be favorites around the house for a few years to come!
What was your favorite story to hear as a child? What story do you love reading to your little one?
i loved all little golden books, madeline, the big book of mr. small, mike mulligan & his steamshovel, the velveteen rabbit and a special 'holiday' book called the sweet smell of christmas. i also loved the 'little critter' series! :) *lcd
