Children's book recs?
Sep. 13th, 2020 10:45 amHey folks,
Miss Rutabaga has learned to read! It's been kind of intense -- one month ago, she was still barely piecing sentences together, and now she's reading whole paragraphs! She's reading Curious George and the Richard Scarry books by herself, it's absolutely adorable. She's always like "I just want to look at the pictures, no reading" and then a minute later she's reading the whole thing, murmuring under her breath.
So anyway, I was in NO WAY prepared for this, especially since our local library remains closed/for pickup only, and therefore I can't drag her there and have her browse for actual books. (Also, going to the library is a Hoosband activity, and he's the one with the library card, but he's currently too busy/anxious to submit a library pull list.) Miss Rutabaga seems to particularly enjoy comics, but she's also 4, so slice-of-life elementary school drama is right out. Same with dour attempts to tell the story of George Washington or some such. I'm trying to see if there's any books I can buy that would be read more than once.
Does anyone have book recs? She likes animals and construction vehicles and silly things, as a 4yo would. She doesn't like when people get in trouble. (Example is that she doesn't watch Moana because Moana was in trouble with her dad, i.e. her dad was angry with her.) There should be lots of pictures, and the words shouldn't be unnecessarily fancy (as in, using "peril" when "danger" does just fine)
