We visit our local library almost every Saturday. Usually we stop in after ballet and run into friends, so it turns into a social event as well. The kids room has so many wonderful books, books on tape, magazines and toys, we can stay for many hours. Iz has reached the point where she’ll sit and read books (after taking all the furniture out of the doll house and lining up all the toy animals in pairs). I loved going to the library when I was little. We would go there for story hour, special events, and just to fill our bags with books. Pratt has a pretty incredible library. An amazing collection. When I was in college, I loved spending time there.
I want Iz to appreciate the library too. I think she already does. It’s special to go to the library. She already knows the stacks and heads to the right places each week.
This is what we brought home last week.
I loved this book. I’ve always admired Coco Chanel, so this book was really for me. I was able to share with Iz some fashion magic.
This was certainly the favorite this week. It’s excellent. Iz loved the animals, the story. We read it about 10 times every day. There’s a great web site for the book too : www.PunkFarm.com and check out Jarrett’s blog! Iz wants to go back to the library and get this book! Might have to become a permanent member of our own library! I love that she remembers her fave books.
And of course Stellaluna. I love this story. I think this is the second time I’ve checked it out of the library. Wasn’t big on Iz’s list, but maybe next time.
YOU are amazing!
