Da Pigeon Book!

One last Christmas/Hanukkah/New Year present arrived for Sadie last week.

It was a copy of "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus". We love this story. Nana has a copy at her house and we have taken it out of the library before. Sadie was thrilled to have one to keep. She was also delighted with the giftwrap, which she announced was a "hehban cown" (headband crown) and immediately put on her head. Nice '80s look, right?

Thanks for thinking of her, Liz!

Please keep de-lurking! We are loving all the comments.

"Cam Chowdah for Yunch!"*

For the past few days, Sadie has been asking us to read "One Morning In Maine" by Robert McCloskey every night. I love this story about Sal (the same Sal from "Blueberries for Sal) and her loose tooth and put it out on Sadie's shelf just see if she would be interested.
We're amazed at how much Sadie likes this story. It takes at least 15 minutes to read it out loud and the illustrations are black and white drawings, but she happily listens the whole time.

Here, Sadie is reading it to her doll Peddy. Her favorite part is the last line of book, when Sal calls out *"Clam chowder for lunch!", which is the translation of the title above.
