The Cow that laid an Egg

B&H Rating:


Another J favorite. Actually this book has a funny story attached to it. J was in his class at church and his teachers were being silly and asking questions like, "Do cows lay eggs?" and all the kids would laugh and then they'd say "of course not". Anyway, the next week J goes to the library with me and finds this book. We check it out and take it home and he gets so excited when we read it that he can show it to his teacher about how cows really do lay eggs!

My son J has the funniest little personality - he loves the silly kinds of picture books that have things in them that make him laugh. He has a knack for find them too - he's picked out a few real winners lately and this one is one of my favorites. It's silly, but sweet at the same time. A great bed time story that I need to buy to add to our collection.

Mr. McGee Books by Chris Van Dusen

If you or your children haven't read these books before, you are in for a huge treat! These books are delightful, amazingly illustrated and funny. They are some of those books that you check out at the library dozens of times and then realize, why don't I just buy them? And I plan to. Chris Van Dusen has a knack for captivating his readers with humor and drawing them in through wonderful illustrations that make you want to keep turning the pages for more.

Children's books

I decided to add on this blogs some of our favorite children's books. I've been hesitating to do this for a while because there are so many. But I think I'll probably at least start listing the best ones - 4 and 5 stars. I will list Picture books, Easy Readers, and Beginning Chapter Books for now, as that's all we've been exposed to. I know as a parent, I'm always looking for a good book for my children and there are so many great childrens books out there! Hopefully this will help you as you read to your children and they begin to read to you.
