books we love: the little mouse, the red ripe strawberry and the big hungry bear

It's the end of the week again, bunnies. Will you be shopping around for books this weekend? How do you choose what books to buy your kids? Do you do an advance research online or do you just browse at the bookstore? Me? I love browsing at the bookstore. I could spend hours looking at books and that's just at the children's section. Another thing I do is to borrow a ton of books from the library that way I get to test out the stories first then I buy the ones that Bud really enjoys.

I thought it would be a nice thing to share with you one of the books that we love to read over and over. Have a look and just maybe it would be something you could enjoy reading with your little one as well.

Have a great weekend!

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.
