Trucks, Part 3 and a Little Bit of Culture

This last week, we finally got around to reading I'm a Monster Truck by Dennis Shealy.  This was the last book that is in the Little Golden Book "Freewheelin' Favorites."  Memaw actually was visiting and she had the chance to read with my son.  He was very excited to see the pictures of the monster trucks and he was making a lot of car noises while Memaw was reading to him.  This ends the journey for the truck books, at least until he finds something else that has trucks or any other vehicles in it.  This book is in the category of: Sports.


Here is the cover for the "Freewhelin' Favorites," which includes the three books from the last three posts.


Also, speaking of Memaw... she bought my son another book during her visit with us.  Tonight we read this book and it is called, Disney: It's a Small World - Color Our World.  This is by Elle D. Risco and the cute illustrations are done by Nancy Kubo.  We read this one exactly three times tonight before my son was convinced that it was bedtime.  Each page focuses on a single color and country.  The illustrations show a child from that country and then it proceeds to describe some of the things of the focus color that are found in each country.  An example of this is, "In the United States, Red is an autumn leaf, the barn down the street, or an apple ready to eat."  This alone would be enough for me, but each page also has a slide out panel on either side that lists some of the items of the matching color for the country.  My son can't quite pull out the panels on his own yet, but I would bargain that he could have this down with another 6 or 7 readings, which won't be hard to do.  This book is in the following categories: Lift-the-Flap, Colors, Identity/Self-Appreciation.  It is amazing to think that a book with seven pages fits so well into so many categories... and I am sure others would be able to find their own suitable categories for this book.
