What is Ezri reading?

Today Ezri particularly enjoyed reading Crunch Munch by Jonathan London. There is an animal eating on each page with text that describes how that animal sounds while they eat. “How does a cow eat? Moo-o-o-o chew, moo-o-o-o chew.” The illustrations by Michael Rex are big and the animals were easy to identify. Ezri enjoyed the noises from the “sluuurp- GULP” of the aardvark using his sticky tongue to snag ants to the “RIP-scrunch” of the giraffe pulling leaves from a tree. Noisy, chewing, animal fun.

She also enjoyed Does a Cow Say Boo? by Judy Hindley
Children run all over the barnyard looking at various animals for one that says BOO! They see birds that tweet and hens that cluck. They spend a very nice spread looking at bugs, worms, and snails in the grass. Here the text points out, “some little creatures say nothing at all.” The penultimate page shows the group of the children hiding their eyes. “What do you say now?” On the final page, all the children have uncovered their eyes to say, “Boo!” The children have discovered who says boo. Ezri had me do these last two pages over & over.

So, we found two books that Ezri sat all the way through more than once. That’s like a two thumbs up review from someone whose attention span is only about a year and a half old.
