Eleanor & Grey, an all-new beautiful and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now! Greyson East left his mark on me. As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near. Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again. When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined. I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man.

I thought I'd share the books that my 6 year old son is asking me to read. He is on his way to learning to read himself but of course still needs me to read him his bedtime stories. Not that I mind.

The Day the Babies Crawled Away by Peggy RathmannHe loves this book! I have the enhanced version on my Nook that reads it to him but so when he reads it he tries to do the same voice as the reader. It is pretty funny.What a lovely day at the fair. Children lining up for pony rides . . . moms and dads in a pie-eating contest . . . babies chasing butterflies . . . babies heading for the trees . . . I SAY! Where are those babies GOING? Only a small boy sees them leaving and follows as the babies chase butterflies in trees, frogs in a bog, even bats in a cave, ignoring pleas to come back. But not to worry, our hero saves the day, making sure that all the babies get home safely from their appealing adventures.
Caldecott Medal winner Peggy Rathmann has created a highly original story told in a lilting text and a bold new style with classic black silhouettes against stunning skies of many colors that change and glow as afternoon turns into evening.
Shark vs. Train by Chris Barton, illustrated by Tom LichtenheldIf you think Superman vs. Batman would be an exciting matchup, wait until you see Shark vs. Train. In this hilarious and wacky picture book, Shark and Train egg each other on for one competition after another, including burping, bowling, Ping Pong, piano playing, pie eating, and many more! Who do YOU think will win, Shark or Train?
This is one of his favorites. We read it at least 3 times a week. He likes how Anansi tricks the other animals and he loves to yell out KABOOM and to look for Little Bush Deer in all the pictures.
Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock by Eric A. Kimmel, illustrated by Janet StevensAnansi the Spider tricks all the animals, until he's taught a lesson.
We are also trying out short chapter books. His aunt got him #19 in the Magic Tree House series and at first he didn't want to read it but then he got invested in it and wanted to know how it ended. So when it was over I bought him the next one.
