What is Ezri reading?

Yep, there ain’t no party like Ezri’s tea party!
The attention span on Ezri is growing. Half hour tea parties, forty-five minute play dough sessions and fort building adventures. . .
Ezri will also sit through much longer books these days.
The possibility of actual plot increases.

Clifford’s Puppy Days by Bridwell is a current favorite. Ezri likes when Emily Elizabeth bathes Clifford in a soup bowl and when he gets covered in whip cream after in an incident in the local bakery.

Hairy Maclary Scattercat by Lynley Dodd
Another requested title. In this one a dog named Hairy Maclary is out chasing cats until he runs into Scarface Claw, the meanest tom in town, who proves too much and chases Hairy Maclary all the way home. Ezri delights in the appearance of Scarface Claw and the turnabout of the chaser being chased. Come to think of it she likes Scarface Claw in the original Hairy Maclary too.

Tuck Me In! by Dean Hacochen
This book is a clever one that makes me think I really should’ve thought of that. Each page features a baby animal in bed who needs to be tucked in. The next page is a half page that is the animal’s blanket that the reader folds over the animal by turning the page. Now the animal’s head is still visible but the rest of the animal is tucked in under the blanket. The text simply asks who needs to be tucked in and then says goodnight to the tucked in animal. Ezri enjoys tucking in the baby animals. I enjoy the detail that the front endpaper has the animals awake and the final endpaper shows them asleep. Ezri likes to flip between the endpaper pages saying, “asleep, awake, asleep, awake.”
