Our Favorite Kids Books

This week on Kelly's Korner she is featuring posts about kids books.

At our house we LOVE books! We have baskets and baskets of books. A lot of these are from my baby shower when I was pregnant with Mckenna. The great hostesses had each guest bring a book instead of a card. I know this is a growing trend... And I just love it! What a perfect way to start a book library!

Now that Mckenna has gotten older, our book choices have slowly grown and changed. Although she loves some of our classics (Brown Bear and Snuggle Puppy) because she can "read" them, our nightly reads currently involve princesses, Pinkaliciois, and any other Disney character!

A BIG favorite at our house are these sets of Disney "Me-Readers". Have you seen them before?? They are perfect for little ones! Mckenna got her first set around 2 1/2... And we have collected all three sets they make! I highly recommend them!

They are a set of 8 books with a "remote", as Mckenna calls it. The remote is a little electronic device that reads the books to the kids. The device has a shape that coordinates with a shape on the page in the book, so the kids know which page they are on and can follow along. Mckenna will sit and "read" book after book! A great way to get kids excited to read and build confidence doing it independently! As they get older the device could get put away and the books read aloud!

They make a princess set, a Disney Pixar set and a Disney Classics set. We love them all!
We've gotten them from Amazon and at Kohl's!

Happy reading!!

Once Upon A Time...

Mckenna is starting to get interested in "reading" books to Norah and I. She has a couple that she has memorized enough to get through them (Brown Bear, and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom). I am trying to teach her to tell the story through the pictures. She is so funny with Disney Princess books because she knows the story behind them all and she turns every little board book into a recap of the movie!

You will see at the start of the clip how excited she gets! It makes me laugh all the time! She gets like this over the silliest things... a new shirt, a favorite snack!! HA!

 

September Sunday

BOOKS! Mckenna has been obsessed with books all day long. By 10am I had read her about 10 books.... several of those multiple times. She loves books and seems to really show a preference to certain ones.... especially Snuggle Puppy!!

A book was hiding behind the chair

Found it! One of her favorites!

Today we enjoyed another football Sunday. After yet another rough night of sleep, Mckenna was in a great mood after a late morning nap. She was decked out in her little Urlacher jersey, even though the Bears don't play until tomorrow night.

Reading one of her favorites again!

Getting tickled by Michelle!

Chillin' with Da!

Looking so cute!

Bring it!

Cheering! Go Team Go!

Uncle Bill is coming to get her!

Mckenna is napping again, which hopefully means she will get her act together and sleep better tonight! We are getting ready to pack up and go over to Great-Grandma's from dinner. Today has been a nice relaxing day, thus far!
