More of Our Favorite Books

Braden is loving his books more, and more, and more. This makes my heart happy because I love it when he happily brings me a book, turns around, and plops himself in my lap to have it read too him. He's actually getting quite the preference to his books too. Asides from my earlier post on some of his favorite books, here are some more favorites that he always brings to us:
I was actually quite surprised that he started bringing Green Eggs & Ham to me...it's quite a long book and the pictures aren't really that exciting, until he saw this picture:
"Choo choo!" He loves this book, JUST for that I'm pretty sure! So I was super happy when I found this book at Costco:
It was supposed to be a Christmas present, but I just couldn't help myself! Yesterday when I gave it to him, we read it 3 times before his nap! He just loved it and it's really simple reading and rhyming...which the "more advanced" Thomas books certainly are not!

We LOVE Books!

Braden has shown an extremely keen interest in books lately. He's always liked them, but now he brings us book, after book, after book if the mood strikes him so. He sits down at bedtime and will read through 2, 3, 4+ books if we let him/want to! He definitely has shown preference though, his favorite book (by far) is:
Braden's Favorite Book!
Isn't that picture adorable!! I love it! Just in case you can't quite see, it's Dr. Seuss' "Marvin K. Mooney, Will You Please Go Now!".
I think he loves how it rhymes or something, but he LOVES it! Close 2nds/3rds are...

The "Llama Llama" series, another great set of rhyming books

He also loves the Usborne "touchy feely - That's not my..." series. We have 3:
thats not my...
One of my favorites, another rhyming book from my dear friend Marjorie (who's friend happens to be the illustrator who signed Braden's copy of this book!) is "The Prince Won't Go To Bed"

I absolutely adored Robert Munsch when I was a kid, so I can't wait until Braden's a few years older because I know he'll love them too!

What is/are your child(ren)'s favorite books at this age?
