Library Books: Oscar the Hungry Unicorn Eats Easter Ellie's Dragon Animal Pants

Another Trip To The Library Our fourth visit to the library was quite frenetic. My granddaughter has learnt the routine of returning last week's books before borrowing some more, and knows where to look for her next books. She had me read seven books to her before dashing off to her granddad to have another book read to her, leaving me free to find a couple of books to bring home. I browsed Animal Pants thinking that we'd already borrowed it, but then realised that it is another book in the 'Pants' series, so put that aside to check out later. My husband appeared with two possiblities, leaving his charge free to strip the book cases of books she supposedly wanted us to read to her.

Library Books: Father's Day Ten-Pin Penguins The Whales on the Bus

Last Week in The Library Last week we visited the library and had a good look through the boxes of books suitable for younger children. This week, I shied away from anything with Peppa Pig on the cover, and my first choice was Shirley Hughes' Father's Day. The book speaks to the relationship between a father and daughter, and Shirley Hughes has been favourite with the younger children in the family for many years. I felt this would be a good, solid choice. Next up, I was looking for something to excite and entertain, and The Whales on the Bus ticked that box. I waved Ten-Pin Penguins under my granddaughter's nose and asked if she would like to read a story about penguins. She did. She counted the penguins, and listened attentively to the story at the library. When she wouldn't put it down, I thought that would be a good third choice for this week.

Library Books: The Grinny Granny Donkey Peppa at the Aquarium Not Yet, Zebra

Another Trip To The Library So this week my granddaughter and I returned the books we'd taken out the other week, and found three more to borrow. She is not yet tall enough to operate the scanner, but was pleased enough to watch it do its work. Her ticket is actually valid to borrow thirty books, but I think three is more than enough at her age.

Library Books:PantsLizard in a Blizzard Happy to Be Me

A Trip To The Library Last week, I took my 2 year old granddaughter to the library, and we took out her first 3 library books on her very own card. She feels quite grown up having her own card, and she closely watched me scan the books out. I'm sure she'll be wanting to use the machine herself next week! I plan to make library visits a regular event with her to encourage her love of books. We read all three books together as soon as we got home, and she's chosen to read them again a couple of times.
