Today's Book of Choice is none other than "From Head to Toe" by one of my favorite author/illustrators, Eric Carle. When thinking of a book for either your own child or maybe a baby shower or birthday present, you just can't go wrong with Eric Carle. In this particualr book, Carle begins from the head of a penguin and ends with the toe of a human. With each page, the reader learns of a movement that is characteristic of a certain animal, while being asked, "Can you do it?". This book has easily become a favorite at the LoveShack, because it is one that JP has been able to memorize and now "reads" on his own. He loves to imitate the movement each particular animal makes and beams with pride when he can say, "The End". There are so many benefits of reading with your kids and providing a literature-rich environment for them. Make sure you are taking a few minutes every day to nurture their love for reading.
