We love the library and kuttyma enjoys selecting her own books.

Here are some books we recently read and loved. Do you see a pattern? Animal books still are the favorite but stories about human body and emotions are catching on.She is especially interested in understanding skin/hair/eye color and why people look different. I am trying to find as many books as possible on the topic. Pirates is another topic she is leaning towards.

Julia Donaldson is her favorite author for now.

We also discovered a great book called “Poems to Perform” – a great collection of poems for kids collected by Julia Donaldson. It includes some of Donaldson’s poems too. Kuttyma has been enjoying some the poems I read to her.
