Babycake's Favorite Author

When I was pregnant and registering for all the new baby items we would be needing, I was thrilled to be able to register for some of my favorite books while growing up. The list of course included The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See?

Well we didn't get all the books we registered for but I was very pleased to receive Eric Carle's Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See? slide and revile board book. I was also happy when this became Babycake's favorite book, and stayed her favorite for over a year. I credit her quick learning of animals and colors to our constant reading of this book.

Recently we celebrated Babycake's 2nd birthday and she received Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar board book as a gift from a friend, as well as E.C's Head to Toe board book and some Curious George books. Babycake still loves her Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See? but that has been replaced with The Very Hungry Caterpillar for number one must read every nap time, bed time, and any other reading time.

Babycake does loves to do all the moves the animals do in Head to Toe. She laughs while shrugging her shoulders like a buffalo, thumping her chest like a gorilla, and kicking like a donkey. We have a few other Eric Carle books and she enjoys them all.

Babycake is a huge Curious George fan so we also enjoy all of our Curious George books. I personally have found our Sandra Boynton books to be the most entertaining for me. Boynton does a great job making the stories fun and educational for the child while humorous for the adult as well. We are so thankful to all our family and friends who have filled our library with these wonderful stories.

If you've got a little one I highly suggest these authors. They're entertaining for both parent and child. Win-win!
