Cameron’s favorite books are always changing as he grows – but I wanted to let you all in on his current favorites (FYI – he is 20 months old).
Cameron is obsessed with Cars (which for some reason he calls “choo choo”) and Trucks (“tuck”) He also loves Cats (“tat”) since we have two of them. So, his favorite books revolve around these items:
My Car – Byron Barton – This is a book about a man named Sam who loves his car and drives a bus. There are lots of pictures of all kids of vehicles. Sam also wears a hat and shoes which Cameron likes to point out and say on every page. It is required that this book is read at least once before bed time. This book has thick pages, but is a step below a board book in terms of durability.
Find the Kitten – Find it Board Books – Each page of this book has a picture of a kitten and Cameron loves to point it out on every page. There’s also other things to point out to help build vocabulary. As you might have guessed, this book is a board book.
Trucks Roll! – Richard Jackson Books – I’ve been reading this book to Cameron since he was born, but he loves it more and more every day. It’s got so many pictures of semi trucks in it, Cameron is in heaven. He always pulls it off the shelf for me to read every morning. This book is more of a “big kid book” as the pages are not cardboard or thick.
Goodnight Moon – Margaret Wise Brown – If you didn’t get at least one copy of this book as a gift, I would be shocked! Did you ever notice how many kittens are pictured in it? Well Cameron did, and he points them out on every page. A classic goodnight story. We have the large “Lap Edition” and a smaller travel size both of which are board books.
Toes, Ears, Nose – Karen Katz – This is one of many “Lift the Flap Books” by Karen Katz, all of which Cameron enjoys (we find them at Clinton Hill Library) but I really like this one because it helps Cameron learn his body parts. Unfortunately, some of the flaps have been removed due to all the tough love that Cameron has shown this book.
Also, check out my post about Bath Books Cameron Loves – I wrote in in September 2009 (almost a year ago!) but Cameron still loves all these books, and they are still a big part of bath time.
