While waiting for my little Jade at the Learning Library this morning, I had a wonderful chat with Van who gave me plenty of ideas on how to make reading fun for my toddlers. She also wrote a list of books which she highly recommends for my little ones.

I hope to be fortunate enough to find most of them at the Book Sale or Books for Less. If you happen to come across any of these titles, grab one for your kids and do let me know where you found them so I can get one also for my kids.
I love Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! I still remember the song that goes along with the story. Anyway, in case you like shopping online, you can find it in Amazon.com. Thanks for the book suggestions, I’m always on the look out for interesting reads for my kiddo.
