What The Littlest Apple is Reading, December 26
It has been a while since I shared what The Littlest Apple is reading. We’ve got tons of new books right now, not only from Christmas, but also from a fruitful trip to the library last week. I’m hoping to share more of these over the next couple of weeks.
How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food?, by Jane Yolen: The Littlest Apple loves all the books in this series (we’ve also got How Do Dinosaurs Go to School?). Fantastic illustrations of all kinds of dinosaurs I can’t pronounce, and a short, funny little lesson about appropriate behavior.
If You Take a Mouse to the Movies, by Laura Numeroff: We love all of the books in this series that we’ve read so far, and this was a great one just in time for Christmas. We particularly liked seeing the mouse make and decorate ornaments for the tree!
Machines at Work, by Byron Barton: A serendipitous library find for my little truck lover. The Littlest Apple couldn’t wait until we got home to read this one, and made my husband read it to him several times in the library. This book consists of brightly colored illustrations of construction machines and short 3-4 word sentences on each page. The Littlest Apple has already memorized most of the text, and re-enacts this book with his trucks, screaming out phrases from the book like, “Knock down that building!” and “Dump that rubble!”
The Truck Book, by Harry McNaught: A few weeks ago, my parents brought down several boxes of children’s books from their attic. This book was in that collection, clearly belonging to my brother way back in the 80s. The Littlest Apple LOVES this book! It’s got detailed illustrations of many different kinds of trucks, ranging from old time milk trucks and tank trucks to telephone pole planters, buses, and firetrucks. A great find for any little truck lover!

Thanks for joining this week. A lot of books that you reviewed were our favorites at some point of time. I think one that kind of perseveres as our daughter gets older is Laura Numeroff’s books – she pays attention to very minute details both in text and in illustrations. We still didn’t read the Movies book though – I have to get it in the library after Christmas.
We are huge fans of the How Do Dinosaurs…series!
Bailey loves the Dinosaurs series too!
