New Read-Aloud Books

Another thing Carter and I did this weekend was to go to the bookstore to spend a gift certificate he got for Christmas. We got Where the Wild Things Are, one of my all time favorite books to read aloud. We also found two new books that I really like! The title of Llama Llama Mad at Mama immediately caught my eye. The story is told in rhymes and hilarious pictures, and it details a fairly realistic experience of shopping with a little one. The other one we found was Ten Terrible Dinosaurs, by the author of Dinosaur Roar (also a favorite of ours). It's a counting backwards book that starts with ten exuberant dinosaurs, and it has a really fun ending to read aloud.

Just in case you were looking for a good toddler/pre-schooler read!

Ten Terrible Dinosaurs is a great book. I use it with my younger classes. Always a hit!
