One thing for sure, that Alice inherited from her mom and myself is her love of BOOKS!! Alice loves to cuddle up on my lap and listen to a book.
On the other hand she will run off with a book and read by herself. By read of course I mean look at the pictures. (I think! I mean she does act like she can read!!) With that in mind it’s important that Alice has a broad assortment of books on her shelves. I am THRILLED with Rufus and Ryan Go To Church! This is a FUN, beautifully written exceptionally illustrated book.
Check out Alice reading in bed! She was so into this book she didn’t even know I entered the room!!
This is a beautiful book. Written by Kathleen Long Bostrom and Illustrated by Rebecca Thornburgh.
This board book is written specifically for kids ages 2 to 5. This would be the perfect gift for your toddler.
Rufus and Ryan Go To Church!
In Rufus and Ryan Go to Church!, four-year-old Ryan explains to his stuffed monkey, Rufus, what is happening as they attend church on Sunday morning. He lets Rufus know when it’s time to sing and to pray and to be quiet. Author Kathleen Bostrom brings a delightfully light touch to the text as she provides an introduction to an experience that most children are exposed to long before they understand why. And children everywhere will relate to the idea of explaining their surroundings to their favorite companions as they go about their daily activities.
I can’t wait to get my hands on Rufus and Ryan Say Their Prayers.
I’m hoping that Kathleen Long Bostrom and Rebecca Thornburgh publish tons more with Ryan and Rufus!! So CUTE!! So fun!! So perfect!!
