What is Ezri Reading?

I thought I would mention 3 books today.
The first two were birthday presents. Everybody needs books on their birthday and Ezri is no exception.
1) Nursery Rhymes made by Louise Shrigley published by Priddy Books
This comes with a CD, but mostly what Ezri likes is the size. It is a BIG board book which makes turning pages more fun. It is filled with classic rhymes which are classics for a reason – nice rhythm and rhyme to them. It is illustrated with reproductions of fabric appliques that have texture where the stitches would be which makes the book both bright and touchable.
2.Noisy Peekaboo! Vroom! Vroom! written by Dawn Sirett designed by Rachael Parfitt published by DK
Ezri already had a love of lift the flap books and DK makes good sturdy baby-friendly flap books. But, now they have added SOUND. When you open the right flap and find the vehicle, you get a “chug-chug-chug” for the tractor or a “beep beep” for the car. Ezri has learned which flaps make noise and her favorite flap is the one that is lifted to make the fire engine’s siren go. I don’t know if this is because she loves red (fire engine color) or the siren sound, but it is certainly a fun page.
The book is well-implemented with color photos of babies and toys on each spread. The noisy peekaboo book is a nice addition by DK to its winning peekaboo flap book line.
3.Quack! by Phyllis Root illustrated by Holly Meade from Candlewick Press.
Many is the board book where the text is underwhelming and seems to be added as an afterthought to a visually stimulating book. This one puts those to shame proving even a very simple text can be wonderfully written. “Baby ducklings nip and nibble. Duckling tails go wobble, wibble.” It’s fun to read and the sounds keep Ezri interested. She also enjoys it when I point at each duckling on the page and say, “duck, duck, duck.” This one is a joy to read aloud.
