Love these picture books!

I’ve awakened. . .

Awakened after 12 years of intermittent pregnancy, exhaustion, nausea, labor, breast feeding, and sleepless nights. . . to possess a rekindled love for books. 

(As well as a realization that I’m pre-menopausal. . .  but that’s another story!)

I love to hear of books others have enjoyed.

Heidi over at Mt. Hope Chronicles has a wonderful ongoing list of literary recommendations.

My eldest is almost 12 and I know these books are a bit juvenile for him BUT even I loved reading these over and over.

The author is Amy Krouse Rosenthal.  Here are a few of her picture books that we thoroughly enjoyed. . .

Check them out!  Literally. . . at the library.  You and your little ones (& big ones) will love ‘em!

And that soon to be 12 year old?  He said, “They’re totally reversed. . . read and find out.” (He’s referring to Little Oink, Little Pea & Little Hoot)

Anyway. . . Z-man has his mind on more exciting, upcoming events in his life.  He’ll be 12 in November which means he can bow hunt for the first time this year!  A tree stand was even set up in the backyard and practice has begun. . . .

Beautiful fall days filled with reading, writing, arithmetic and shooting!  That’s our simply grand central life in the woods.

Happy Wednesday,

Heather

  3. Hey, we just had Little Pea! My littlest one loved to giggle each time we read it :-)

    And unfortunately (or would it be fortunately?) I understand about the premenopausal story.....I just hope we get to a happy ending somewhere in this one.....

    Enjoy the day, Heather! Rumor has it that the weather is considering changing BIG TIME in the days ahead.....

    Blessings,
