Curious George and other such books

by Summer Minor

Anne Marie at A Readable Feast has a great blog post up called Go bananas with yellow and Curious George that I just loved. And not just because of the yummy recipe for Banana Flip Cookies. Mmmmm, cookies…

Oh! Sorry, where was I?

curious_george5.jpgOh yes, back to the post. Not only is it full of great links and those oh so yummy cookies, but it got me thinking about books. OK, so I generally think about books everyday reguardless, this time i am thinking about what books to plan for this fall. Now that my early reader is growing in leaps and bounds with understanding the connections between letter, sounds, and words I want to add more scheduled reading time. As it is now we are just reading anytime and every time we get the chance. Which is great, don’t get me wrong! I in no way plan to stop that. I just want to schedule in some quiet time while the baby sleeps and work on reading fun books that he’ll enjoy together. Curious George, I am sure, will be on the list. A little boy monkey that seems to be always causing a stir and getting into some sort of trouble? Why, that could describe my son perfectly!
