Fall Reading List Part 4!

Today's post is from Helene Roby, another RMT at Zawada Health! She has two beautiful kids that have inpired her to write about her favourite children's books. Love You Forever by Robert Munsch This is a beautiful story about a mothers unconditional love for her son, and the bond between mother and child. It is full of real life examples of the different stages children hit as they grow up and become adults. It is sensitively written, funny and heart-warming all at the same time. One of the sweetest children’s book out there, makes me cry every time I read it… Hop on Pop by Dr Seuss Hop on Pop is composed of simple, silly rhymes. It’s a bit of a tongue twister but a great fun and easy read for beginner readers. The illustrations are the usual style of funny characters helping the new reader to decode the words. My almost 5 year old daughter really enjoys this book. Mr Brown Can Moo! By Dr Seuss Fun all around for little kids! Good for beginner readers too. Both my kids have loved imitating the sounds the book describes from a very young age and has kept them entertained until now (2 and 5 years). Busy Kitties by John Schindel and Sean Franzen Cute cat pictures illustrating action-words for young toddlers. A Children’s Treasury of Songs from Sterling Publishing Co., Inc. I think every toddler enjoys singing and this compilation of nursery rhymes is awesome. It includes all-time favourites like: “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad,” “Pop Goes the Weasel,” “Row, Row, Row your Boat”, “Itsy Bitsy Spider,” “Pat-a-Cake,” and “If You’re Happy and You Know It”. All the songs are great for entertaining young ones on car trips, during play dates, on a rainy day or anytime to cheer up the mood.
