We’ve had a few new books this month as Athena got quite a few for her birthday and we also received some for her to review too. I’ll be doing another kids book post next week too with some more bedtime orientated books but this post is mostly about learning books but there is a lovely story book included and I have three copies of that one to giveaway, so read on! pun intended…
Animals are Delicious is a boxed set of three fold out board books, by Sarah Hutt, Dave Ladd and Stephanie Anderson. Designed to help children learn all about the food chain in three different habitats. Athena’s favourite of the three is ‘all around the forest’, and although at the moment she thinks animals eating other animals is funny I think she is starting to ‘get it’ the more we read through the books and she’ll soon…
I am always looking for fun ways to keep the children entertained for more than 2 minutes so I can load the dishwasher/clear the table/get dressed without someone clinging to my leg and when we offered to chance to play with the new convertible submarine from Miles Kelly I thought it could be ideal, and I was right!
It’s time I did a Parragon Book Buddy update! We’ve had some lovely books from Parragon over the last few months and these books are all great for taking out and about as they’re board books so can withstand being carted about and being used as entertainment at restaurants etc!
It’s so nice for Athena and I to get some time together if I can persuade Arlo nap somewhere other than on my lap, and when we do it’s a really good opportunity for us to read ‘nice books’ which are ones that we don’t want Arlo to get grabby and pully with! Athena now recognises the pleasure of a good book, and treats her books really well. This last month we’ve been reading three…
I love personalised books and I think Athena likes them just as much as me! She has a new book and she calls it ‘the Athena book’. In fact we all call it the Athena book now, and I would bet money on it being on or near her pillow at any given time! Thankfully Arlo has an Arlo book too, otherwise there would be a problem when he wants to hold hers! The book…
Books have become and even bigger part of our lives now that Arlo is more interested in them. Athena will sometimes go and show him the pictures in a book, or point things out to him when I am reading with them both. I’ll be honest and say that I reckon he is actually more interested in turning the pages pretty roughly but hey, at least he’s interested! He always pays a lot more attention…
Both Athena and Arlo got a new Christmas book last week from Parragon, for Arlo it was ‘Jingle Jingle Little Reindeer’, a cute little board book with a finger puppet reindeer for the reader to use to help the story come alive! It’s a nice catchy rhyme and the story is about helping the reindeer get to the sleigh on time! In fact even though Athena is too old for this book really she loves…
