January 20, 2008: Griffen's Pick




We love board books at The Gifted Grasshopper. With their sturdy, easy to turn pages, even the youngest readers can interact with them independently.

One of our favorite board books is To Market,To Market by Ann Miranda. What begins with the traditional serene nursery rhyme turns into a slapstick excursion filled with mishap and mayhem. A "fat pig" is not enough for this ambitious shopper. The elderly woman makes return trips to the market for a hen, trout, lamb, cow, duck, and goat. While she is acquiring more, her earlier purchases are wreaking havoc.

With its engaging pictures, rhyming text, and surprising ending, we promise that this will quickly become a favorite of your baby or toddler. What's even better about To Market, To Market is that it is a lap sized board book. Bigger than the traditional board book, lap sized board books will capture the attention of even the most squirmy toddler.
