Toys With Staying Power - Entry #2

Entry # 2 features a book, arguably La Luz's favorite book, easily in her top 5 all time favorites. This is a book that I got at my baby shower before La Luz was even born. My friend, Kim, gave me this one and, since she is a mom, I figured she had a good idea about the kind of books kids enjoy. I had no idea, however, that two and a half years later La Luz would still ask me to read it to her. It is a lift the flap book. Some of the flaps are lost and other flaps are on their second and third round of masking tape. When I got home from work tonight this book was sitting on the table in the front hall. I knew instantly that it was because she wanted me to read it to her again and again and again, and I didn't mind for a second:



The illustrator is Karen Katz. She has a series of books that are all excellent. If you can find a box set it is a worthwhile investment.

"Good Night Gorilla" is the best book ever. I'll bring it to Lucy, if she doesn't already have it.

Betsy loves Karen Katz. Lately she's really into Where is Baby's Mommy?, Where's Baby's Belly Button?, and Toes, Ears, & Nose. I bought these books in a set before she was born--as per your suggestion--and she loves them!
