My 3+ gal S's All-Time Favourite Books

I started reading with my gal S when she was a baby, it was amusing to see her run over every time to get her red toy car, when the boardbook about 'What I want to be' talked about becoming a racing driver. Initially, we started with books with characters that are familiar to her, like Elmo, Big Bird, Thomas the Tank Engine, Bob the Builder, Little Einstein, Dora the Explorer etc. We then moved on to other book collections from Dr Seuss, Eric Carle, Child's Play, etc.

Eric Carle's is one of her (and mama's too) favourite authors. 'Head to Toe' is the book that she proudly proclaimed that she could "read" all by herself. It is always amazing how kids can seemed to remember the sequence of the book after reading it just once. This is an interesting book, as S had fun doing all the actions while reading the book. She enjoyed ALL of her Eric Carle's books, and simply loved the boardbooks editions, with the cutouts, sounds and foldouts. 'Papa, please get the moon for me', 'The Very Clicky Beetle', 'The Very Hungry Catapillar', 'The Secret Birthday Message' are some of S's favourites reads.

Usborne, I think every mommy and daddy out there would had heard of the famous Usborne books. Usborne Phonics Readers were S's all time favourite for quite a while. We had read them countless times, over and over again. Now, she had moved on to the Usborne Reading Programme doing the First Reading Level 3 and 4, and Young Reader Series One. S loved the maps drawn at the front of the First Reading Level 3 books, influence of Dora the Explorer I guess..

Dr Seuss, is another mommies' favourite, I first introduced S to Dr Seuss with the Flip-A-Flap Collection, and we both enjoyed the use of humour, rhyme and illustrations of Dr Seuss. She had moved on to the beginner books, i.e. blue back and green back books.

MathStart is another of S's favourite series. It was fun as math concepts like addition, subtractions, multiplication, sets, capacity, etc are introduced through interesting stories

I'll upload more of S's favourites books, and some of S's favourite Chinese books in a later post.:)

Do we do any other stuff besides reading, you might ask? Of course!! S enjoys Gym, Ball, Music, Art and Craft, Logico, Lego, Puzzles, Mazes and lots more. I'll try to share some of her favourite activities in another post.

Cheerio,

Crazy Mama L
