Sadie's Picks:
Jazz Baby by Lisa Wheeler and R. Gregory Christie
It's a cute little rhyming book with fun illustrations about a family putting baby to bed. We found this book in the library way back in January and we borrow it just about every visit. It's fun to read and easy to memorize (which can be really helpful when you need a distraction without having a book- reciting books from memory has saved us in the middle of the night and on long car trips). Monkey and Me by Emily Gravett
Another rhyming book with animals! Yeah! We just found this last week and almost immediately Sadie started requesting "monkey". This story is a really quick read (great for bedtime) and the kids love saying the animal names when we read it. I love the illustrations and at the end we practice being quiet and saying "ssshh" because the little girl is sleeping.
Caleb's Picks:
I Ain't Gonna Paint No More! by Karen Beaumont and David Caltrow
Alright, as a mother who happens to also be an artist, I love this book almost as much as Caleb! I think it's hysterical- from the words to the illustrations. This book was also recently discovered at the library and Caleb has already started singing it all the time (we walked through Target today singing it together). It's to the tune of It Ain't Gonna Rain No More and of course, it's about a little boy getting in trouble with his paints. My opinion on this book may change when Caleb discovers paint but right now, I think it's too cute and funny to put down.
Alright, that's all I have for you tonight! Hope you enjoy these as much as we have.

Thanks for the recommendations! Here's one we've been enjoying. "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault. It comes with a CD narrated by Ray Charles. It's a book about letters climbing a coconut tree but there are too many so they all fall down. It's really helped the boys learn their letters better than any other book we have.
Those books sound great! Annabelle also loves books and we love reading them to her. One of the books she really enjoys is "Is your Mama a Llama?" and one of the books that I never get tired of reading to her is "Aliens Love Underpants". Call me corny, but I can't help but giggle every time I read this story about aliens who come to earth to swipe underpants from unsuspecting humans! :-)
