The adventures of two kiddos, her folks, and a cat The Belle No Longer Stands Alone

Favorite books

I'm trying to keep track of Annabel's favorite books as the months go by - both for the memories, and for gift-giving in the future. Right now, we read books before nap and bedtime, as well as during the day when Mommy has some time to sit. Here are the current favorites:

Madeline (thanks, Maddy!)

You Can't Take a Balloon Into the Metropolitan Museum (thanks, Graham and Rebecca!)

The Big Picture Story Bible (thanks, Roger and Haley!)

Cinder Edna (thanks, Mom!)

I can recite Madeline by heart right now...and I actually find myself thankful that her second favorite (You Can't Take A Balloon...) doesn't have words, so I can at least vary a bit each time we read it.

She loves these right now. You should write reviews of these books if they're in the Tumblon system, or suggest that we add them!

If you like "You Can't Take a Balloon Into The Nation Gallery," you would love "Flotsom" by David Wiesner. It is another book with no words, but lots of possibilities for great stories to be told and captivating illustrations.

Okay, I just realized - not sure if you know this, but I didn't - that there is a whole series of "You Can't Take a Balloon into...". You have the "The Met" and I just got "The National Gallery", but I also found on-line "Museum of Fine Art." Just thought I'd let you know in case you didn't realize. I am going to check them all out at the library. They look great!

She loves the balloon book so much - and I've gotten to the point where I can narrate this one in my sleep - that I really need to find some alternatives. Thanks for the suggestion, Erin - I'll definitely look for those at the library!
