Ikey has always loved books more than any other toy. He "read" the newspaper before he could stand up. He has always been willing to sit still on my lap to hear a story. He has memorized several books: Little Pea, How to Dinosaurs Eat Their Food, Reindeer Run, Duck and Goose Find a Pumpkin, How to Dinosaurs Go To Bed. This means that TB and I have read these books a million times. We've moved on to longer books because my head was going to explode if I read Little Pea one more time.
Jovie got the Ivy + Bean (Ikey and Bean?) series for Christmas and we've read two of those. We've finished Little House in the Big Woods and started Farmer Boy. We've finished The Great Brain and we're in the middle of More Adventures of the Great Brain. Come over for story time!
I asked him to read The Great Brain to me. He opened the book and said, "One day, Tom ate supper. Tom washed the dishes." That's not what the book is actually about obviously, but he got the right character name. He'd love to discuss...

Uh oh! Remember the stories that Memere told about your dad sitting and reading the encyclopedia for fun. I think Isaac might like the Hank the Cow Dog books. They would match his room anyway.
Oh, I think he would like Hank the Cowdog... and Dallin is really great at reading them like a cowboy. :)
just a warning, I actually got a Hank the Cowdog book to read to Clancy and decided that it was not age appropriate...so he will probably love those books but I suggest waiting a while.
