Book Nook: Bedtime Dragon and a Puppy

One Drowsy DragonOne Drowsy Dragon by Ethan Long

Emmy asked me to read this library book to her every night this week! One very tired and crabby dragon, (which reminds this mama of herself) can’t go to sleep because all the other dragons are making too much noise! This adorable counting book is also a great bedtime book.

This week, I am adding a new feature to Book Nook: Lily’s Pick! Lily wanted to use her “blog name,” so she introduces herself as Lily in the following vlog:

Lily’s Pick: Biscuit and the Little PupBiscuit and the Little Pup by Alyssa Satin Capucilli

When I asked Lily to pick a book from the bookshelf to share with my blog readers, this is the book she choose. Biscuit books aren’t designed to make parents love them, but they are written to make children proud of reading by themselves. Biscuit and the Little Pup is a great book for a beginning reader. Lily has just started to read some sight words, which makes this a great book for her. I just love the last few seconds of this video.

Next Friday, join me for Emmy’s pick! To read more children book reviews, please click on the button below to visit Little Sprout Books.

My Bed is Calling….

Due to this NaBloPoMo thing I’ve started, (you know, National Blog Posting Month, the month where I’m supposed to blog every day?) I feel like I need to write something. Last night, however, I was up almost every hour with Lily, who had a terrible stomach flu that’s going around her school. It was like having a newborn all over again, except I would much rather change a diaper and nurse my baby than hold my child’s head over a bowl while she retched. Poor baby…she was so miserable!

She’s much better now, so far no one else has starting throwing up (knock on wood!), and I’m going to bed. Good Night!

P.S. Sorry for the brief and somewhat yucky post.
