What The Littlest Apple Is Reading, November 22
We did lots of reading this week! The Littlest Apple let me read 8 books in a row many days this week. It’s highly unusual for him to sit still that long, but I’m enjoying it while I can! Here are a few of the books we’re loving this week:
Rudolf Von Flugel’s Busy Day, by Richard Scarry: This is a current favorite at our house. Full of airplanes, helicopters, and hot air balloons.
Firefighters to the Rescue, by Kersten Hamilton: We checked this one out from the library, and it took us a while to warm up to it. Now my son loves this book, and runs around the house pretending to be a fireman, listening for the fire bell, saving Ben (a dog) and yelling “Firefighters to the Rescue!!” Definitely a book to check out if you’ve got a kid that loves firetrucks!
What Mommies Do Best/What Daddies Do Best, by Laura Numeroff: This is actually two books in one. One side for Mommies, and one side for Daddies. A sweet book that discusses all the great things mommies and daddies do for their little ones.
Feast for 10, by Cathryn Falwell: I checked out a handful of harvest and Thanksgiving themed books from the library, but this is the only one that my son likes. This is a counting book that shows the family going grocery shopping, then preparing a big feast. The Littlest Apple loves the grocery store, cooking and baking, so this was perfect for him!

Hi Cara,
What a great list of books! Both my kids (ages 26 and 21) are avid readers. I read to them all the time when they were little and they grew up loving books. I thought it was cute how your little one played fireman after reading that book. My son used to play all sorts of things, too. If we went out to eat, he’d play restaurant when we got home. Or when we went to the grocery store, he’d play grocer at home. I love the imagination of children!
Have a great Thanksgiving!
Nancy
Thanks for linking up this week. Great list – we liked that Scarry book too. I think Mommies/Daddies book also has a sequel for grandparents. And we had the same experience with Thanksgiving books – we read ton of them, but there were only a few that Anna really liked.
Gotta love Richard Scarry! 🙂
These all look so good! M is able to sit still for several books in a row lately too, and I am also loving it! And we love Richard Scarry books too, of course!
I’m delighted that your Littlest Apple likes my book, Feast for 10! Thanks!
