Our Favorite Board Books

A friend/neighbor of ours has some board books by Sandra Boynton that are the most hilarious books! They are simultaneously interesting to Little Chub and entertaining for me. My personal favorite: Blue Hat, Green Hat. Little Chub's favorite: Fuzzy, Fuzzy, Fuzzy. We received a gift certificate to Amazon.com for Christmas from a relative, so we used part of it to get Little Chub some Sandra Boynton books, which arrived today. We love them!

And speaking of favorite books, Little Chub got a book from her cousin for Christmas called I Love You Through and Through, and this is her absolute favorite book EVER. Some of her other favorites are Jamberry and First Words. For Little Chub, forget the really sweet ones like Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny--she's not quite old enough to appreciate those yet. Especially The Runaway Bunny! The second we open that one up, she picks it up and tosses it over her shoulder. (Not with attitude, more like with boredom.) But, if we choose books she likes, we can entertain her for quite a while. Sometimes she even grabs her books herself and sits on the floor flipping the pages and "reads" to herself in a really cute sing-songy voice that completely cutes me out!
