A few of Miss O's favourite things...books

Even at 19 months Miss O has her own tastes. She has a lot of books and it's such a thrill to see her sitting on the floor by her bookcase leafing, discarding, studying, ingesting. She has some books that get more than a cursory glance. Here are her current favorites:

This is a wonderful book which celebrates diversity and belonging. Miss O studies each page of colorful illustrations with great intensity. A classic from 1992.

Clearly the girl has a taste for romance - a delightfully accessible adaptation of Jane Austen's 1813 Pride and Prejudice.

This produces swish, whoosh, beep, bop, and screech noises every night - all the Llama Llama books are a big hit but this one is her favorite.

Miss O is a HUGE Sandra Boynton fan. This 1982 classic taught her to say teeth, sleep and exercise. Other Boynton favorites are "Are you a cow?", "Happy Birthday Little Pookie", and "But not the Hippopotamus." Boynton's "Doggies" is another regular with "9 dogs on a moonlit night" producing a perfectly timed "Haaaawhhooooooooooooo" from Miss O - priceless!

Miss O got this book for The Beloved - her Beloved Daddy - for Father's Day. The two of them read it together each night when we get to hear the whole farmyard and shouts of DADA. She loves the illustrations and the humor! Good job Jimmy!
