Tonight before bedtime we read, Old Blue Buggy by Frances Swift. This is a book that we borrowed from the library this last week. It is a longer one, at least for my son's current age, but he really likes this one. We read this one in the library before checking it out and he just sat on my lap and listened to the WHOLE story. Tonight he did the same thing... something about this book really grabs his attention. There is a sweet little rhythmic "song" that is repeated throughout the book and is really fun to say and listen to. There is a lot of alliteration with the "B" sound and is a very bouncy rhythm. This cute little story is about a mother and child who get attached to their old buggy that they found at a yard sale and by the end they have outgrown the buggy and find that it has another use by a different person. This book is in the categories of: Independence/Growing-Up, Sound Exploration, and Family.
Just for reference this is the rhyme that is stuck in my head from this book:
Blue buggy blue, blue buggy blue
Be-bop, a-boo-bop, a buggy bop-a-blue,
Bumpety Bump, Clunkety, Clunk
Blue buggy, blue buggy, blue buggy blue.
