Reading (for kids)

A Halloween favorite:

The Berenstain Bears and the Spooky Old Tree
by Stan and Jan Berenstain


This one is especially fun if you go back and reenact the actions after you read them... for example after the bears go up the stairs and the alligator snaps at them... I walk my fingers up the stairs until I get to the alligator, then I CLAP my hands and yell *SNAP*.

Asher giggles every time.

Favorite book of the moment...

Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak

We have read it so many times that Ash can repeat portions:

The night Max wore his wolf suit and made mischief of "ONE KIND."

and "ANOTHER."

His mother called him "WILD THING"
and Max said "I'LL EAT YOU UP."

The words in caps are the words Ash will fill in as we go. I'm not sure how he got so smart, but I definitely plan to take all the credit.
