Story-time

My boys love books! Which is a good thing because I love them too--although the majority of my reading nowadays is textbooks or parenting/child related. We also love attending story-time at the library! It started when Ethan was less than a year old down in the Douglas Co. libraries with Miss Jo--she was so great with the kids! And while I'm not quite as impressed with the story time here--we still enjoy going weekly!

Because of our love of books, Ethan and I have put together a list of some of our favorites! If you're looking for some new ones, try looking for these at the library or bookstore! (and in case you don't know, at most libraries you can request books online--so you don't have to search the kids section while lugging your kids along!)

So here's our top 25 current favorites:

1. The Three Little Rigs by David Gordon: a takeoff from the 3 little pigs
