So many blogs share their reading lists for adults, and we do the same.\u00a0 But what about the little ones out there?\u00a0 Little Miss loves books, and Yankee and I have really enjoyed reading to her. Sitting and reading books is a daily and nightly activity, and she loves it. \u00a0If we are not reading books to her, she will sit on Gracie’s bed and flip through books and “read” them to Gracie. It is actually one of the sweetest things. I think Gracie enjoys the attention.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Gracie\"<\/p>\n

I thought I would share some of Little Miss’s favorite books. \u00a0 If you have any to share that you think she might like, please let me know in the comments.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Little Miss has really enjoyed a lot of books by author Eric Carle. \u00a0However, this one, The Very Lonely Firefly ,<\/a> wins out in the favorite category for his books. \u00a0The last page shows lots of little fireflies, and it lights up. \u00a0No matter how many times we read this one, she is in awe.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Nelly<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This author is known for her popular books llama llama<\/span>. \u00a0It broke my heart to hear the author passed not long ago. \u00a0We have really enjoyed her books. \u00a0Little Miss loves for Yankee to read her this book<\/a>. \u00a0The little girl and the daddy go to the home store, and Little Miss likes to announce that she goes to The Home Depot with her daddy. \u00a0I am sure The Home Depot would love that our little girl is already a fan of their store and knows exactly how to get there.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Pete<\/a><\/p>\n

Pete the Cat<\/a> we discovered at story time, and this book<\/a> is the one she always wants to read out of all of the Pete the Cat books. \u00a0The fun thing about these books is the cat, Pete, sings a song.\u00a0 It is fun to see how different people sing the song. \u00a0I sing it completely differently from Yankee, and then the librarian is another way.\u00a0 It’s a fun part of the book and the ending in this is cute.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Green<\/a><\/p>\n

A classic ……What can I say?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Dragons<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A friend gave us this book,<\/a> and wow, we had a huge stretch of reading it multiple times a day. \u00a0This is one she likes to pretend to read to Gracie and does lots of sound effects. \u00a0She loves that my mom read it and told me that she didn’t get why kids love it so much. I just found out there is a sequel,<\/a> so I will need to get it and read it to her.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As a parent this book <\/a>is my favorite. \u00a0It is such a cute story from a crayon’s perspective, and I just love it. \u00a0Little Miss is requesting this book more as she gets older.\u00a0 It is cute, cute.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"E<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When I was a child I had some books that read to me.\u00a0 I put a record on the record player and turned the pages when I heard the magic sound. \u00a0These days they have the same thing but with a little e reader where your child can press the button. \u00a0Little Miss received the Mickey Mouse books<\/a> and really enjoyed them. \u00a0She gets under a blanket on the sofa and starts reading\u00a0<\/del> pushing the buttons and listening to the story. \u00a0The other day she discovered on the back of the Mickey books that they have princess books. \u00a0Well, thanks to the grandparents and Amazon, they arrived at our doorstep a few days later. \u00a0She now walks around and hugs her princess books<\/a> and pushes the button and goes through all the princess stories. \u00a0It is a nice calming activity, and now she is starting to tell the story herself. They are cute, and she is a fan.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"There<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is a bird on your head\u00a0<\/a>book is fun to\u00a0\u00a0read as an adult, and Little Miss enjoys the story and pictures. \u00a0Do some voices for Gerald the elephant and Piggie, and all parties have fun. \u00a0 We have this book and discovered a lot more by Mo Willems with Piggie and Elephant. They are sweet.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Reading<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I hope you enjoyed this reading list for the littles.\u00a0 Please share any of your childhood favorites or other ones your children or grandchildren enjoy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n
