Bud's hot picks: books

My little man is currently obsessed with trains and is completely enamored with Thomas the Tank Engine. Just a few months back he was totally fascinated with diggers and fire trucks. I'm amazed at how the interest in anything that moves just comes so naturally to boys.

It's not enough that he plays with his trains and trucks, he loves to read about them as many times during the day too. Of course, I happily oblige and read to him over and over. I'm just glad that he is eager to read as much as he likes to play.

It's never too early and not yet too late to develop a love for reading. If your little one is anything like mine, he (or she) might fall in love with these books too. Here are a few of Bud's favorite books about trains and trucks that we have been constantly borrowing from our local library.

Hey Mr. Choo Choo, Where Are You Going? by Susan Wickberg

Freight Train by Donald Crews

Digger Man by Andrea Zimmerman

Fire Engine Man by Andrea Zimmerman

Happy reading!
