3 books, 1 pick

Jr. got one book with the 4 bucks from mommy and between her and the little one puppyfaced me into buying two more books when I went to pick her up from school! Apparently the book fair was on till 5:00PM the next day in their common hall.

Now we have three books..

Bad Kitty Gets a bath - by Nick Bruel

June B. first grader, Dumb Bunny - by Barbara Park

Spongebob Slapshot - by Nickelodeon (how it makes it to a book fair is beyond me)

(The last one was picked by the LO, instigated and approved by Jr. with the vested interest of making it her book on a "binaami" name. She knows the LO cannot read yet!)

Of the three, the best book I liked (and we can speak for Jr. as well here) is Bad kitty gets a bath.

Why?

This is the first true humor book that Jr. has read! She reads it, over and over again and laughs out loud! I get to laugh as well.

If you want to get a kid hooked to reading, or books for that matter, humor is the way to go!

Jr. does like the other two books as well. She seems to get the Spongebob book, but we don't. Maybe because she knows the characters and understands the stuff between the lines while we are lost and go "what do you see in that book?". Guess, we just have to get used to it over time ?!

If you have a five or six year old who is just getting into reading,

Bad kitty has a bath is very very strongly recommended!

ps. The LO still claims Spongebob to be "my" book and pretends to read it with made up sentences. It is so heartwarming to see her imitate her akka.
