Also, most of the books suck. I hate to say it because it’s a great program. But most books a pretty bad.
Of course, your child is supposed to get books for FIVE YEARS and their point-of-development is also relevant... meaning yeah some are kinda rudimentary... obviously.
Some of my favorite books to read aloud to my child were from there.
Classics are in there...
- *Goodnight Moon*, where on your 10th reading you're still noticing little artistic differences from page to page
- *Little Engine That Could*, everyone knows this classic and I think it's always the last book they send.
- My wife loved reading *Love, Mouserella* as theatrically as possible
- I loved the art of *Where's my T-R-U-C-K?!* and sought out both the artist and the author because of it
- I loved reading *Cool Time Song* in a gravelly African accent (I imagined Ofeibea Quist-Arcton - a gal that used to speak on NPR sometimes - reading it... go listen to her voice. Such a great voice.)
- The Mine-O-Saur, Roly Poly Pangolin,
- The "Llama-Llama" books.
