zen wednesday - book review

saying avery loves to read is an understatement. if she had books and no toys, she would be fine. she definitely has favorites and james and i joke about avery's "book of the week." she will read the same book over and over for days to the point where she will finish the sentence. she would prefer to have someone read to her, but she is happy flipping through the pages on her own.

i am pretty sure she comes by it honestly. i love to read and she has come with me to book club a number of times. it really makes me happy that she loves books so much. i decided to share some of her favorites over the next couple of weeks, or whenever one i like comes along.

please pass on books you think she (or i) would enjoy. it gets tiresome reading the same 2-3 over and over when she has a bookcase full!

right now, the book of the week is

or as avery calls it..."cookie mouse"

her favorite part is when the mouse decides to draw a picture. she also likes to find the mouse on each page and shout "cookie" every time we say it.

teacher note: this is a great book for teaching cause and effect or sequence of events :)


we read cookie mouse at least 2-3 times a day and each night at bedtime. don't worry, this is not the only book she is in to right now, it is just at the top of her list.

she actually took the book to bed with her on saturday night. how could i deny her?
