This Caldecott winner by Norman Juster is Grayson's current favorite. We love this sweet story of the window at the grandparents house. "It looks like a regular window, but it's not." Told from the child's perspective, it is spot on!
Sumner's current favorite is Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs by Judi Barrett. This is a very clever book about the town of Chewandswallow where food drops likes rain from the sky as told by a Grandpa to his grandchildren . "Wouldn't it be marvelous? Or would it? It could after all be messy. And you'd have no choice. What if you didn't like what fell...?" He notes that his favorite parts of the book are the pea soup fog and the gorgonzola storm.
Ever get tired of the annoying run of the mill children's music? If so, this is for you! I would say it's probably best for the 4 and up crowd. Our friend Diana gave this to the boys last year and it was an instant favorite. These two guys, Keith and Ezra, really remember what it was like to be a kid and offer a lot of funny sing alongs. Jamie says he likes it so much he's going to load it on to his Nano for his jogs! Our favorites are What I Want is a Proper Cup of Coffee, I Think I'll Need a BandAid, The Window and Pico de Gallo.
I would totally listen to this even if the kids weren't in the car!
