Childrens Book Meme

Oh my, I've been tagged by Solveig for a meme! My first time!!! :)

All right, here we go, some of Yannick's favourites:

Trucks and diggers

Trucks and diggers

Well, I could have put about 20 other vehicle related books here. Yannick loves anything and everything about trucks, diggers, tractors, trains, motorbikes, etc. - as long as it has got wheels it's interesting. And in addition to the vehicles he also likes to hear about the occupations of the people driving them. Firemen, digger drivers, all great hits!
This book in particular is a nice book as it encourages play. There are ten vehicle magnets that can be used and I've found Yannick moving them along telling himself the same stuff that I used to read out or make up for him previously. Him playing with this by himself gives me a bit of a break - hooray!

Peppa Pig's car ride

Peppa's car ride

OK, another vehicle book, but this is slightly different to the one above as Yannick has two other Peppa books and he loves them all. It's a bit beyond me why but who cares! :)

Five little ducks

Five little ducks

Ever since Yannick was about eight months old he's been to Sing and Sign and when that was over we started with Jo Jingles. It seems he loves music and has even started to sing English songs (like 'Ba ba black sheep'), despite not having a clue (at least that's what I think) what the words actually mean. Therefore he liked this book from the beginning. He's liking it even better now as I've recently started singing this with German words (my own translation). He really got into the story now, telling me every time that mama duck is very sad because her babies disappear, and when they are back he saying she's happy again.

Wir sind jetzt vier

Wir sind jetzt vier

As we are speaking only German at home you can imagine that German books are high on our wish list for books for Yannick, and we are taking anything and everything people bring along. This was one of the presents we got and a surprise hit. The title translates as 'We are four now' and the type of story represents a whole group of books about what children do or how their families grow. Yannick finds these very interesting and I had a great opportunity of explaining to him that he used to be in my belly!

Guess how much I love you

Guess how much I love you

We have the German version of this book and Yannick is intrigued by it as it seems. I like it loads as it's about loving each other and talking about that. Apart from that it's just a lovely story.

Now, who am I going to tag? I could only think of one person at first, Simon, but then I stumbled about the fact that James' and Natalie's web site has become a blog - yay!
