The Very Hungry Caterpillar Sound Book

 I know we all know the story of the Very Hungry Caterpillar. This one is different!
The story is the same, but it's told a bit more quickly, with not so many words. So it's better for me, because I don't like to sit still too long.
The best thing is it has a big yellow button on the front, and when i touch it, it goes "doo-do-deilde-dom-dum" (or something like that!) and it's the noise of the caterpillar walking along looking for food.
It still has the food counting that it has in the original.

Baby Play Day

I wasn't sure about Mummy choosing this one for me this week- I wanted Pirate Pete's Potty. She said I'm not learning how to use the potty.

So, we've read Baby Play Day. It's not a story, but a book of fun things.
There is a boy and girl who live in a house, and some letters (Mummy thought it was really clever that the apple turned into a ball and then a cat), and some numbers, and some touchy-feely pages at the back.

It's not got too much to look at, but it's just right to keep my attention for a little while. Mummy complained I couldn't keep still, so Daddy also took some pictures when he got in from work.

Buster's Farm

 Mummy read this one at story-time on Tuesday.
Everyone thought it was great.
Not only does the story tell you all about Buster looking after all the animals on the farm, but also, Mummy makes the animal noises, including the Duck, and you can feel all the animals furry!
A great book for someone as little as me, and as big as the other children.
We all loved it.
(PS, it is me in the picture - I'm wearing a caterpillar disguise that Aunty Rebekah gave me)

Animal Counting

This book is great! Mummy says "Six colourful Chameleons, SIX!"
and a number pops up from the page!
It counts you from 1 to 10, which is just unfathomable for me! Ten whole numbers! Wow! The animals are great fun, and there are as many animals as there are numbers - I know because Mummy counted them out to me.
It's by Petr Horcek, who is a famous Illustrator, and Tim, who visits me from Walker, thinks he's the bee's knees.

My Chunky Friend Daisy

We're both poorly this week. Mummy says I got the cold first and passed it onto her.
But because we're poorly, we feel lazy. So I chose this Daisy book, because Daisy is a car that likes to be lazy.
The story rhymes and makes it all jolly and at the end she's got flat tyres!
It's colourful and chunky, and Mummy made it go Clack! when she clicked the pages together.

Hello, Dinosaurs!

I have this book at home, and it's fabulous.
It's a puppet book, which means that Mummy's hand hides away when she reads it.
Each dinosaur is a different colour, and the book is in the hand, so when Mummy reads it, she turns the page with her other hand - or lets me do it!
This week she's been singing the story, but normally she just reads it.
I went to see the doctor this week and I don't itch quite so much now.

Fire Engine

I have been very tired today.
I've had ever such a busy week (my cousin's wedding and also I've been crawling around), and i can't sleep, so i have to rub my eyes and scratch and that makes me feel sleepy and sad.
But when Mummy read Fire Engine to me, it cheered me right up!

It has a siren button on the front that goes wow-wow-wow-wow.
Then Daddy came home from work and read it to me again.
It has pop-up pages and the story tells you all about how the fire engine works.
