Random Reads from the Bookshelf - 6-6-2018

Today's FIVE book reads- with a "favorite ranking" by a five-year-old.  Additional comments by the five-year-old's GG.

In "favorite order" with #1 being the top favorite among today's reads:

1. Spiro, Ruth. Baby Loves: Aerospace Engineering.  Illustrated by Irene Chan.

2.  Spiro, Ruth. Baby Loves: Quarks.  Illustrated by Irene Chan.

• These two books by Ruth Spiro are among our very favorites.  The 5 year old can repeat the text word for word and loves saying: "molecule," "protron," "neutron" and especially loves the smashing of the atom.  Another favorite part is when, in the Aerospace title, birdie takes off to outer space.  "Bye bye Birdie"

3. Watt, Fiona. That's Not My Duck.... Illustrated by Rachel Wells.  Usborne, 2013.

• Repetitive phrases make this book a great participatory read.

4.  Kane Miller.  123 Counting.  Illustrated by Maxine Davenport and Cindy Roberts.  Usborne, 2015 (First American edition).

• Pictures and the counting format create an book even the very youngest can "read."

5.  Wood, Don and Audrey.  The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry, and The Big Hungry Bear. Illustrated by Don Wood. Child's Play, Ltd, 1984 English/Spanish edition.

• Clever ending that brings giggles to listeners when they catch on to the trick.
