Both Helen and I encourage Clara to read, alot. She will often go into a room and reach for a book. She carefully opens and turns the pages while she quietly mumbles to herself as if she is reading aloud to one of us. It's too cute.
We want her to have a love of books that both her Dad and Mom share. I was able to get this sketch above of Clara reading her Dora the Explorer book.
Anyhoo, here is short list of a few books enjoyed by Clara (not in any order):
1. "Sheila Rae's Peppermint Stick" by Kevin Henkes
2. "Blankie" by Leslie Patricelli
3. "Bird Fly High" by Peter Horacek
4. "Spring is Here, Llego la Primevera" by Taro Gomi
5. "Are you my Mother?" P.D. Eastman
6. "Truck Go" by Steve Light
7. "My First Spanish Word Book" by Angela Wilkes
8. "Corduroy" by Don Freeman
9. Brown Bear, Polar Bear, Panda Bear series by Eric Carle
10. "Dora " by Phoebe Beinstein
