What is Ezri reading?

I know you’ve been wondering about what books Ezri likes.
So, I’m going to try every Wednesday to highlight something from her library or the public library that she enjoys.

This week it’s Flip-a-face Big Little by SAMi
Animal faces flip to show BIG EYES on an owl and little eyes on a chicken. (BIG NOSE on an elephant and little nose on a skunk – you get the idea)
Ezri is a big fan of toy books with punch outs, crinkly pages, textured pages and even teething corners built in.
This book held her interest with the changing animal faces which we flipped back and forth over and over.
I liked that it taught the parts of a face. SAMi (yes that’s what the author/artist calls him/herself) has a series of “flip-a-something” books and we’ll be checking out more.  They are published by Blue Apple Books which has a catalog with a lot of high quality baby books and toddler books.

This is the page showing the chicken and the fact that every face has two eyes.
Also, Ezri’s gorilla doll based on the book Goodnight, Gorilla by Peggy Rathman is next to her.

[…] How frustrating. I did post about what my baby girl is reading over on her blog. Check it out at Ezri’s blog. She gets so many books read that she will simply be highlighting a few. Though, I too have read […]

I’ll look forward to you post, particularly when Ezri gets to be 12 or 14 — my reading level.

Amanda, if you are going to start puttin Ezri’s reading on this blog (which is so great), will you start adding categories and/or tags?

Is that a posed smile? It looks as if she knew a picture was being made. “Cheese!” And I love the symmetry of Goodnight Gorilla and the gorilla picture, it’s almost as if this picture was styled.

She has learned about cameras I think. Right now most books will be toddler board books, but I’ll think on adding other tags or categories. It is a good librarian mom thing to blog about her books.
