Yes you read the title right! I’m not a kid but what’s a good read if the storyteller and the audience can’t both enjoy it? Who doesn’t love a good children’s book that captivates with rhyme, rhythm, cadence or just great pictures? So for World Book Day here 7 of my current favourite books to read to my kids:
1. One fish, Two fish, Red fish, Blue fish
Got this as a gift at one of my baby showers and it’s a good one! There’s so much silliness going on in this story - I can’t get enough of it. I’m a sucker for Dr. Seuss and the silly rhymes and made up words.
2. Giraffes can’t dance
Gerald the Giraffe is such an endearing character, very graceful and wise under pressure. This story has a great message for Littles about not giving up because they’re not naturally good at something.
3. Cows In the Kitchen
These animals are all up to no good, they’re all over the house and up to no good. If you feel like your kids turn your house upside down you can definitely relate to this fun chaos.
4. Goodnight, God
Love this little book. For starters it’s basically a prayer; a beautiful kid sized prayer that’s very relevant and relatable.
5. The Gruffalo
I really like these stories about the ‘underdog’ (or in this case under mouse) characters who use their wit to outsmart much larger prey. Definitely a fun read and beautiful illustrations to show how it all plays out.
6. Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
Hands down the book that really taught my 2 ur old the alphabet. We actually discovered the video before the book. Highly recommend searching the song on YouTube. It’s so fun and catchy so if you get tired of reading the book you can always sing it. I already know the book by heart.
7. Circle of Friends
Such a positive message about friendship and how friends should act. I expected nothing less from Sesame Street. This book also has such beautiful illustrations, that I often spend time just asking my little ones about different characters - which is great for building comprehension skills. I know I said 7 but we’re talking about favourite books here...
8. Love You Forever
Robert Munsch does such a beautiful job telling this story of a bond between mother and son/child for life. This book gives all the feels. Loved it so much I bought a few copies to gift to other mamas.
