What is Ezri Reading?

Where is Baby? by Sally Rippin
There’s not much to this board book in the text. Each spread asks the question, “Where is the baby?” and then answers it. Babies are on chairs, in toy trains, playing games, and snuggled in bed. The joy of this book for Ezri is the illustrations which are simple, brightly colored paintings. There is a cockatiel who Ezri calls “twee twee.” This is her noise for bird, but has also been applied to bats and butterflies. The baby in the pictures has a ball and a teddy bear both words Ezri can say. When we turn to the train page, Ezri smiles and says, “choo choo.” This book is a perfect book to talk about and ask Ezri to talk to me about. On one page there is a baby who is under a blanket. Since Ezri loves blanket peekaboo, she also loves pointing at this illustration. It’s nice that this book is so slight on the text that we can actually read through the whole thing in the length of Ezri’s attention span.

Reading with her dad.

They make a good pair.
