Toddler Time for Reading

My grandson is now two years old and when he comes to visit he always heads to my bookshelves looking for books I have designated he is allowed to "touch". Liam is so good about not messing with books on the shelf I have told him No to. (A good little boy just like his daddy was as a toddler.)

Liam really likes animal books with lots of pictures of critters in them. We have two that we read each time he is here, one with dogs and one of whales.



I have started collecting books for Liam. In fact, last week with a portion of earnings from my articles at Squidoo, I purchased a few books for Christmas gifts, including the book "Find My Friends" for Liam. I must have purchased the last one as the book is currently unavailable at Amazon.

Not to worry! I have plenty more books for infants, toddlers, and children to share with you. I have two collections of board books so far, with more to come. Take a look and see what books you can find to add to toddler time for reading in your home.

Fall Board Books for Children

A selection of board books filled with colorful autumn fare sure to delight even the youngest of readers.

What fabulous beginning books for wee bookworms!

Winter Board Books for Children

Continuing with the seasons, this is a collection of winter-themed board books.

What a wonderful way to warm the spirits of young and old with stories of the joy of the season - even playtime in the cold.


A young child's attention span is short, naturally, so we turn the pages quite quickly. Soon, Liam runs off to play with his trucks or insists on a game of chase with Grandma. Not to worry, he will return to the books in a little bit!

Do you have toddler time for reading at your house? What books can you recommend I share with my grandson?

Eat to Live so we can Live to Eat

Actually, it was my newfound friend and boss wanting to lose weight NOW that caused me to purchase the book EAT TO LIVE by author Joel Fuhrman, M.D. I, too, want to lose the weight I have gained the last few years and I want to feel healthier overall.

I have also shared EAT TO LIVE with a friend who recently suffered a stroke and has serious heart health issues. I do this in hopes that his future may be longer and some health issues may be reversed.

Shall we eat to live so we can live to eat?

 

 

When you read the guidelines for WoW Weekly 100 Words book blog hop, you will see that generally it is to share a 100-word excerpt from a book. This week I am doing something a little different. I am sharing 100 words about why I am reading a specific book. I invite you to blog 100 words from or about a book.
