We've been participating in our local library's 1000 Books by Kindergarten program. This past week we surpassed the 750 mark. The 4 yr old gets excited to cross off more books; it's a good motivator! So onward we read, with this morning's Books and Bananas kicking off with Quick as a Cricket! by Audrey Wood. I really like the rhythm in this book, and it's a great way to help kids articulate that they are many things and many moods, which all together make them perfectly themselves.
If you haven't read it, check it out. And while you're at the library, find out what type of reading programs they have in place. Reading to a child is a priceless memory for both of you.
