Library Run

About every other week we drop in on our local library to either pick up a stack of inter library loan books or just browse the shelves. I usually stock up on books for M to cycle out our reading. At the moment, he absolutely hates returning the books. He's convinced they are ours and those mean people behind the counter are stealing them from us. I continue to remind him that they were never ours, but that we are trading them for more.

Right now, we have:

The Great Doughnut Parade by Rebecca Bond
It's a cute tale about a little boy who ties a doughnut to his belt and takes off on a walk, gathering quite the menagerie of followers. It's a lyrical read...which of course is my favorite.

The Kiss That Missed by David Melling
I found this book to be a bit awkward to read...but Mr M loved the story line. The illustrations are great and this ended being one he didn't want to part with.

The Magic Hat by Mem Fox
So this book was both of our favorites for this trip...and I've promised him that we'll get it back! With great rhyming verse and appealing pictures, the plot is just the right amount of predictable for a child, and still interesting. Lets just say we've both been seeing this in our sleep, it was read so many times.

I also have The Continuum Concept by Jean Liedloff, which is a pretty interesting description of the authors time in the jungles of South America studying natural parenting. I think it will warrant it's own post at some point.
