For Christmas, I got Troubles a board book copy of his favorite story, "The Little Fur Family" by Margaret Wise Brown, illustrated by Garth Williams. We had been reading it (in paperback form) for several weeks and he always wanted to take it to nap with him. He was always sad when he had to out it back on the Year 0 shelf. He was very excited to get his own book, and even kept leaving his toys on Christmas morning to look at his book. He can tell the story very well now, and reads it to me!
Now he has picked a new book to read over and over. It's "The Carrot Seed" by Ruth Krauss, illustrated by Crockett Johnson. It's a simpler story, and he can read it to me now after just a few days of hearing it. We already had it in board book form. Now he asks for "The Carrot Seed" first and "The Little Fur Family" next.
He's loving the Charlotte Mason style of learning as much as the rest of us!
I plan to introduce him to Lois Lenski's "Mr. and Mrs. Noah" next.
