55 Books!

A big day at the library last week! We reached the 50 book mark and then some. Our 50th book was a present for Monkey which he got to open at the library. He was so excited about the book "Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late!" that he had to show Denise the librarian right away and had her hold the book while he went to the bathroom so that nobody would take it. (I think there was only one other person in the library.

Book #44 No More Bottles for Bunny - Bernette Ford and Sam Williams
Bunny decides to throw away his bottle and drink from a sippy cup like his friend Duck and Pig.
Monkey liked the bunny shaped sippy cup.
Teecee liked when Bunny threw away the bottle.


Book #45 So Sleepy Story by Uri Shulevitz
This is a story about a sleepy sleepy house and a sleepy sleepy boy that are awaken in the night by music.
Monkey liked when the music came in the window and into the bedroom.
Teecee liked when the music made everything in the house dance.


Book #46 Say Please by Tony Ross
The little princess learns to say please to get what she wants. She teaches a monster to say please and then to say thank you.
Monkey thought the princess should say "please AND thank you" throughout the book so we read it again an each time the princess asked for something he included a "thank you".
Teecee liked that Monkey thought the book should have better manners.

BOOK #50 Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late! - Mo Willems
Just like all of the other Pigeon books we loved this one. This time the sly pigeon wants to stay up and tries all kinds of tricks to convince you.

Teecee liked when the pigeon says he'll go to bed early tomorrow instead.
