I can't believe your library doesn't sort the toddler's books--that would drive me crazy--our library even has the teen volunteers sort the board books when the bins fill up!

So they are just a complete mix of what ever the kids pull in and take out, a but like your description of the board books, but with all books for toddlers too.

The only books that are haphazard at my library are the board books because they surround our tree house and get pulled off and re-shelved dozens of times a day. At one point, I even had all our movies and books alphabetized at home (pre-Bobo). Let me know, it's killing me!Mrs. Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02805633032663726843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437312531314961361.post-66101368933029085752012-05-02T08:41:06.804+01:002012-05-02T08:41:06.804+01:00We love the Maisy books - the library was a great ...We love the Maisy books - the library was a great one but J's favourite has to be the Maisy's bathtime or Makes Gingerbread men.<br /><br />We are still into the That's not my series which T loves as well.

But if I get too bored it will start coming out in my voice when I read to him, and that might put him off reading, so I need to change it up from time to time for my own sanity. I don't mind cycling through 4 books, but one book for three months is kind of stealing little bits of my soul.The Monkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02015980234917286789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437312531314961361.post-9454344044540606582012-05-02T08:11:43.695+01:002012-05-02T08:11:43.695+01:00Chook is the same with books and I think it is gre...Chook is the same with books and I think it is great. Because of the repetition he knows the storyline and can 'read' along. He can really immerse himself in the story because he knows it in and out. He uses ideas from the story in his play as well. I have noticed he is paying attention to the text on the page, pointing to it and asking me what it is. Repetition really encourages the development of early literacy behaviours! To get him to accept new books, we go to toddler time at the library and I read a new book during our circle time, over time I have found the new book becomes part of our bedtime routine. The only thing I have to overcome is Mummy boredom of reading the same book over and over!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049375050001179780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437312531314961361.post-62675535491784435692012-05-02T04:45:29.308+01:002012-05-02T04:45:29.308+01:00Stumbled upon your site and think it's adorabl...Stumbled upon your site and think it's adorable!!
