Library Visit

I've realised I haven't posted much this week, including forgetting to list the books we got out of the library last Monday when we'll probably be returning them tomorrow.

  • Dangerous Animals, by Gilpin
  • Splash! by Llewellyn and Beard
  • Poppy's Teddy, by John and Latimer
  • Penguins, by Bone
  • Harry and the Dinosaurs Tell the Time, by Whybrow and Reynolds.
The library has a new selection of Usborne Beginners books, the Dangerous Animals and Penguins and the weather book from last week.  DD1 seems to really like them.  There's no story at all, just information and fun facts, but written specifically for young children.   Whereas Splash! is a storybook, but one to encourage independant reading, and DD1 can read that (and Go, Go, Go - which is from the same series) by herself which is great.  Her favourite book this week was Tell the Time, but that;s because it has got a clock with moveable hands (which 'tick' as they move) which she liked moving around.  Although the book only teaches o'clock, DD1 surprised us by getting the quarter to/past correct when we asked her (she already knew o'clock and half past).
