Okay, back to icky reports. Too many meetings today! Argh!

There ought to be a rule: no having six meetings the week after the holidays. It's just WRONG.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Allyson, it's been a long time since I bought any children's books, but I still have fond memories of Amelia Bedelia. Don't know if it's still in print, though.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I got him Goodnight Moon, Stinky Cheeseman, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, Harold and the Purple Crayon, A Snowy Day, Moo Baa La La La, Where the Sidewalk Ends, and Where the Wild Things Are many moons ago.

He likes the board books, likes turning the pages. Some are too much for him yet but he'll have 'em when he wants wants 'em.

Swouncing

Oh, before running out: I can't think of a toddler who didn't like Dr. Seuss, even in the Hebrew translation (and as good as some of them are, the English original is even more fun). Allyson, you're a good auntie!

t Running out, pleased with glittery pinkish new thoughts, promising them they will be well taken care of

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

The other major theory is that HOF voters prefer guys who racked up the stats over 15 years, and Rice sort of fell off a cliff suddenly.

Any good suggestions? I'll take toddler through early reader. I think my mom is making him a bookcase.

  • The Monster at the End of This Book (Grover)
  • Rin Tin Tin and Rusty
  • Frog and Toad are Friends
  • Go, Dog, Go!
  • Hop on Pop
  • Cars and Trucks and Things That Go
  • RIchard Scarry word books (best for gr. 1-2)
  • Officer Buckle and Gloria (best for the K-1 set, as it takes place in a school)
  • The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes (n.b. This is an Easter book)
  • Wish Upon a Birthday
  • Don't Forget the Bacon
  • I don't particularly like them, but pre-K kids love those "If you give a moose a muffin..." books.

I can think up more if I try, but that's a start, and most/all of those should be in print.

This book is like crack to Owen.

He also loves Maisy books and Elmo books.

Brown Bear, Brown Bear is good and Goodnight, Moon, as well.

Dr. Seuss! He has no Dr. Seuss! UGH! BAD AUNTIE!

I'll have to bookmark and make a list.

If I only had a brain...

I'm glad you got Sandra Boynton in there. We read and reread those, especially The Going To Bed Book.

The moon is high, the sea is deep, They rock
And rock
And rock
To sleep.
