I think that my little bookworm has outgrown baby books. Over the last 6 months ago her favorites have gone from Karen Katz' Where is Baby's Belly Button to the Skippyjon Jones books. She no longer pores over board books with one line on each page, but wants to hear me read paragraphs of text, especially if it has lots of rhyming words and rhythm. Dr. Seuss, nursery rhymes and this week, a book called "Chicken in the Kitchen" are all the rage.
She's growing up and its so much fun to watch. She watches my face the whole time I read and anytime I pause at the end of a line she shouts out the last word, or her toddler version of it. We also sign through a lot of books, she's keeping me on my toes trying to learn new signs-if I don't teach her she makes them up herself.
