Feed Me Books Friday: Lift the Flap Books

-
Welcome to Feed Me Books Friday!



My youngest (Megan, 18 months) is not a book person. In the last month or so, however, she is turning into one and I couldn't be more thrilled. Lift-the-flap books are some of her favorites. I felt it was appropriate to open Feed Me Books Friday with an image of her and her homemade "library" - She piled all of our library books into the laundry basket and commenced to "read."



With a three year old and one year old, lift-the-flap books are still a big hit in our house. One of my favorite authors is Karen Katz, and almost all of her books are lift-the-flap. Where Is Baby's Belly Button? is one that we enjoy.
Each page has a large flap and a question like, "Where is baby's hand?" When you lift the flap it says, "Under her mitten."

The illustrations are so darling, and Megan loves these books. I got a nice set of them for her for Christmas on her first Christmas. My only complaint is if you have a rough baby, like I do, they will rip off the flaps. Megan has destroyed several of these, but she is unusually rough on things.

My second was a favorite of Natalie and is also a favorite Megan now. In fact, my husband recently said, "I am going to hide this one because I am so tired of it!"

The book is Wake Up, Little Tiger

It takes you through Little Tiger's morning with routines that all little ones can relate to, like brushing teeth, cleaning up, and eating breakfast.


Finally, I just picked up Double Delight Nursery Rhymes from Barnes and Noble for 75% off and Natalie (3) loves it.
I'm not sure why, as she's not really that into nursery rhymes anymore, but she does. Each page has half of the nursery rhyme on the top half, then you fold down the flap and the rest of the story is written with the image showing what happened. Quite cute and the flaps are big and fun.

Wake up Little Tiger looks adorable!

I'm so glad your Megan is turning into a book person! I'm sure it's because she has a great reading role model - YOU!

I review a couple of flap books that are pretty sturdy, because my babies were rough, too! My oldest chewed the flap off of one of our favorite shapes book! (She was only six months old...I couldn't get angry with her!) I hope you have time to stop by!

The nursery rhymes book looks really cute! My K would probably love it. I'll have to look into it!

Visiting from Feed Me Books Friday. Love the pictures of Megan reading in the laundry basket. We have never seen the second book before, but we also love Karen Kaz books - flap and non-flap ones.

You are 3 for 3 with me! I need to check all of these out!

Thanks for asking about my button. I was clueless as to how to fix it!

Thanks so much for playing and for all your support dear friend.

The basket looks like a great reading spot. We have several Katz books we love. I've had to tape some of them back together from overuse.

My Story Begins

I am participating in a really fun project that is the brainchild of my friend Janna, who regularly blogs at The Adventure of Motherhood . Her project, entitled Mommy's Piggy Tales , encourages moms to blog about their childhood in 15 weeks. Here is the button if you want to learn more or consider joining. My dad, my mom, and me. My daughter, N, has that quilt now. Every year for Christmas my brother and I received our very own holiday ornament. Starting with the “Baby’s First Christmas” ornament, these ornaments usually reflected something we accomplished or did during the soon-to-be-past year. For example, the year I got my driver’s license, my ornament was Daffy Duck in a shiny new car. Every year we enjoyed putting “our” ornaments on the tree. It was a wonderful time to reflect back over our lives and the memories we had made. Sometimes we asked the reason behind the ornament, and learned a little more about our histories. When I married, I got a box with my ornaments in it to ...

Preschool: Life Changing Years

I have been thinking since last week about what to write when it comes to preschool. I am participating in a fun project put on by my friend Janna at Mommy's Piggy Tales. Check it out! There are so many options. I could write about my imaginary friend, Polk-a-Roo, who I was actually a little afraid of. I could write about losing my favorite My-Little-Pony, Firefly, in the sandbox when some mean boys buried it at preschool. I could write about my only child, only grandchild years before my brother came along. I could write about my first “best friend,” the girl across the street (Klaire), who I sobbed over when it was time to move away. I could write about all of those things, but the truth is my preschool years are some of the most important of my life. See, my parents wanted me to be a “good person.” To reach that goal, they started going to church. Not long after they started attending church, something happened that would change the course of my life forever. My parents, throug...

Christmas Miracle

Natalie was hamming it up for Tim the other night. Well, a lot has been going on in the past two months. About a month or so after the miscarriage, I was noticing something wasn't quite as it should be. I took a pregnancy test, and it came back positive. That was strange to me, because we were trying to prevent that as requested by the doctor. They called me in for blood work, and everything was indicating that I was pregnant. I was quite confused, as you can probably imagine. Two weeks ago we went in to have an ultrasound. That was eight weeks after the miscarriage. In that ultrasound they found what appeared to be a baby developing at 5 weeks gestation. We were quite perplexed, of course, because in our minds it should be about 8 weeks. The doctor asked us to come back today because at 7 weeks they should be able to see a heartbeat. The doctor said there was a good chance that there were just leftovers in there because of the earlier miscarriage, but that my numbers (hormone leve...
