A Few Good Books to Read A Loud to Baby

I read way too many books to my children to just list them one at a time here.  In the past, I have been focusing on a particular book in my posts.  Today I just grabbed some of the books I have enjoyed from my reading basket and I will share them with you.  In case you like to read as well, here are some books to consider adding to your reading list.

 Cindy Ellen A Wild Western Cinderella By Susan Lowell

This book has been rated 5 stars on Amazon.  I loved this book.  It was so cute and southern and full of pep.  Here is the review from Amazon.com.

If there's one thing the traditional fairy-tale Cinderella is lacking, it's some rip-snortin', gravel-in-the-gizzard gumption. And until her Wild West counterpart, Cindy Ellen, meets her own fairy godmother, she too is sorely deficient in the grit and guts department, even if she is a durn good cowgirl. Cindy Ellen's meaner-than-a-rattlesnake stepmother bullies her into doing all the dirty work on the ranch and forbids her to attend the biggest event of the season, a rodeo and square dance. Enter her spur-jangling, gun-firing, no-nonsense fairy godmother: "Magic is plumb worthless without gumption.... Stop that tomfool blubbering, and let's get busy." And just like that, Cindy is outfitted in the "finest riding clothes west of the East," including a pair of diamond-studded spurs. You can guess the rest. It involves six cactus mice transformed into six dappled horses, a lost diamond spur, and a rodeo champion by the name of Joe Prince.

  Hug Time By Patrick McDonnell

This book also has been rated 5 stars on Amazon.com.  This is a cute story about a kitten so filled with love that he wants to give the whole world a hug.  We enjoyed this story very much.

 Library Mouse A Friend's Tale By Daniel Kirk

This book was very cute and the illustrations were outstanding.  I enjoyed the illustrations as much as the story.  It is rated 4 stars on Amazon.com.

Here is the description from Amazon.com.

Sam the library mouse loves to write, and the children love his little books, which he leaves on the library shelves for them to find. But no one at the library has ever met him. When Tom can’t find a partner for a book-making assignment and finds Sam’s secret hole behind the children’s reference section, will the pair be able to work together, or will Sam’s secret identity be spoiled forever? A heartwarming tale about collaboration and creative ambitions, this book will enchant any young aspiring author or illustrator.


These are just a few books we are reading.  I will post more tomorrow.
