Babies with books, Part II
May 9
2007
And if you're in the market for a great book to share with your zero- to two-year-old, we (as always) have some suggestions!
Try Lane Smith's The Happy Hockey Family! and its sequel, The Happy Hockey Family Moves to the Country!. These books are adorably tongue-in-cheek Dick and Jane-style spoofs. Your baby will like the pictures, and you'll like the irony.
If you're getting a little tired of nightly recitations of Goodnight Moon, try Taro Gomi's My Friends. It has similarly soothing word patterns, and the artwork is gorgeous.
Alphabet books don't have to be boring. Try Museum ABC, from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Each letter page features four accompanying images from Met artwork: "A is for Apple" is followed by a foursquare of famous apple images, including Roy Lichtenstein's "Red Apple" and a detail from Paul Cezanne's "Apples".
