We did have green eggs and ham for breakfast. I could not add green food coloring to my eggs that was just beyond what I could do.
My kids loved it. I think it was one of their favorite breakfasts.
Some of the books we read that day included:
Angus and the Ducks by Marjorie Flack
Animals should definitely not wear clothing by Judi Barrett
And to think that I saw it on Mulberry Street by Dr. Seuss
Bambi’s Children by Felix Salten
The Biggest Bear by Lynd Ward

The Egg by M.P. Robertson

The Carrot Seed by Ruth Krauss
Floss by Kim Lewis
Daisy Comes Home by Jan Brett

Curious George at the Parade
Curious George goes to the hospital by Margret & H.A. Rey
Amos & Boris by William Steig
I think my favorite book was Animals should definitely not wear clothing. Daddy enjoyed reading Bats in the Library.
I thought I would be able to read more but I had a cold and my voice was giving out. It was a fun morning and one that I would repeat. We did get a long list of books read. It does require a bit of planning to get the books from the library.
My voice would have given out way earlier!! My boys rarely let me read to them anymore. :( I did read The Gift of the Magi to them. The language was tough - very old style and lots of words to explain. At times I've had so many books on hold at the library that I couldn't carry them all and had to go back later. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea; a reading day! :) :) Glad it was a success!!
