Lets talk about some favorite preschool books this week that you might consider when buying Christmas presents for that special preschooler. A few of my modern favorites are Owl Babies, Mouse Paint, and Mouse Count. Blueberries for Sal, Make Way for Ducklings, Mrs. Tittlemouse, and Goodnight Moon, are some of my favorites from the era before the flashy colors. They were beautiful books either with line drawings or simple color. You can find all of these in our library, at bookstores, or online.
There is an entire series of soft cover books devoted to Clifford the Big Red Dog. There is also a series with an endearing character called Little Critter. Being a grandmother, my favorite of the Little Critter series is Just Grandma and Me where the grandma critter and the little child critter spend a day at the beach. However my husband is partial to Just Grandpa and Me where the two critters go shopping for some new clothes. Another soft cover series follows the antics of a family of bears, the Berenstein Bears.
In addition I have found some CDs or DVDs from Amazon Book Store online that are for a computer. The program reads the story and let your children play related games inside the story. While I was teaching I had one of these for the computer in my classroom. It was the Grandma and Me with great animations that the children enjoyed.
Our very own ‘Friends of the Library Booktique’ has many wonderful children’s books that you can buy for almost a song and give to some of your special preschoolers. I hope you will find some treasures there that you will enjoy giving.
Song
Hat, whiskers, belt, and boots,
Belt, and Boots.
Hat, whiskers, belt, and boots,
Belt, and Boots.
Twinkling eyes and a little cherry nose
Hat, whiskers, belt, and boots,
Belt, and Boots.
Tune: Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes
Have fun exercising to this tune!
