Rufus and Ryan Go To Church by Kathleen Long Bostrom

Rufus and Ryan Go to Church by Kathleen  Long Bostrom is a wonderful book introducing children to their first visit to church. It explains what happens and prepares them. My granddaughter goes to Sunday School but isn't aware that adults go to the church service. She tells everyone "I go to Sunday School and Mommy and Daddy go on a date."

A big thanks to Mason over at Thoughts in Progress. I won Rufus and Ryan Go to Church in a giveaway on Mason's blog.

A Giraffe and a Half by Shel Silverstein

A Giraffe and a Half is a children's book by Shel Silverstein that's fun to read. It reminds me a little of the Dr. Seuss books. Each page adds a little more to the story and at the end my two year old granddaughter was saying the rhyming story with me.

Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans

My granddaughter, who is now three months old,  read her first book today. Actually, I did the reading and she looked at the pictures.  Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans is about a young French girl who despite wearing a school uniform identical to her classmates, stands out with her antics and "was not afraid of mice". The Madeline books have been delighting children since the late 1930s. Like Madeline, Ludwig Bemelmans, was a strong character and his personality shows in the Madeline books.
