[...] Hug by Jez Alborough: @peekababy says: “Hug is another great pre-reading book! Cutest ever! Three recurring words in the whole book. Fabulous! Can you tell I have a degree in Elementary Ed & literacy, lol.” [...]

This is a great book and we too keep a copy around the house along with our favorite, "Oh, the Places You'll Go". .-= Richard´s last blog ..How To Be Scene =-.

We love this book too – it was a very frequent read for a long time when my son was like 2.5. Whenever he saw a person or animal with a sad face, he’d say “he misses his Mommy”, like Bobo.

Thanks for the recommendation. We just read Some Dogs Do by Jez Alborough, and my 3-1/2 year old loved it. .-= Andrea´s last blog ..Hello? Anybody There? =-.

We got this book when sunnyboy was 15 months and loved it. He’s 3 and a half now and it’s still a favourite.

Good point. I think it would be great for struggling readers as well. They could embellish the story as they wished without feeling like they “failed” at reading it. Thanks for your thoughts!

A friend was clearing out her son’s books and gave this one to us (amongst others). I love that it has minimal words – I often find that I don’t want to stray from the printed words, as if I’m obligated to read them exactly. With this book, I feel free to discuss everything in the pictures, from animal names to relationships and expressions. I know I CAN do that with traditional books, but I find that I tend not to if something is already printed on the page.
I’ll have to look into these others as well!

They would love it! I’m planning to check out Alborough’s other books too… they all look darling.

It would make a great shower gift. The board book version is so perfect for little hands. .-= Emily´s last blog ..Weekend Plans: Spring Cleaning =-.
