Our new favorite book is Party Croc by Margaret Read MacDonald! I have read this book no less than 20 time in 3 days. The bright, fun illustrations of Derek Sullivan are hilarious. The sing-song melody of the words read almost like lyrics. There is a "chorus" of repeating lines where the croc is singing "party party going to a party party party I'm a party croc!" I love it as much at G who is 4 1/2 (she likes to add that 1/2, don't you know?) and Roo who is 19 months. Roo sways back and forth to the "chorus" song parts. There is also a good lesson in the book about keeping promises, but it is not in a hit-you-over-the-head kind way. This is a GREAT book.
Have a fun & playful day
