Book of the Week: Week 5
Week 5 was chosen by our son, Roman. He chose one that was actually more popular with our daughter, but then he does that with a lot of decisions he has to make at the young age of 3. Decisions including what to eat for lunch, what underwear to wear, whether he wants a home made fruity cookie or a Girl Scout Tagalong.
I was surprised that both kids picked interactive books as their favorites since they generally choose narratives to read or silly laugh out loud books from our upcoming collection (I’ll hyperlink it here when it is live) but that is why this is so much fun to do with them.
Be My Neighbor book cover, by Suzy Ultman
Be My Neighbor (not Mr. Rogers related!) is a seek-and-find book with liftable flaps on every page for kids to explore. The kids have both read this book since they were one and still enjoy, although it is requested less often. It has fun rhythmic writing with repetition on each page and adorable characters living in the neighborhood.
Title: Be My Neighbor
Author/Illustrator: Suzy Ultman
Publisher: Chronicle Kids Books
Why we like it: Engaging writing, cute illustration, recognizable animals, and an easy segue into having kids help with baking/cooking if you are interested in that!

Find this one at your local library or get a copy of your own through Thriftbooks or Bookshop and enjoy watching your kids explore the neighborhood for the ingredients to make chocolate chip cookies (although they don’t use sugar?!?!?) and then share them with everyone.
Best,
Matt
