Children's Book Day

Tomorrow is National Children's Book Day.  It is meant to encourage children to read and to promote the love of books.  April 2nd was chosen since it is the birthday of Hans Christian Andersen.
I thought that I would take the opportunity to show you a few of the books that Taft loves right now.
The Pout Pout Fish:
When I first heard his teacher reading it to the class, I thought that it was a little strange.  After reading it myself, I love it too.  The grumpy old fish learns to love and it has a great ending.
This is a new book that Gran brought just in time for Easter.  Since Taft's favorite stuffed animal of all time is his bunny, he loves to read about them too.
Since Dr. Seuss Week at school, this has been a big favorite.  We had a copy at home and a friends brought Taft a few book that they out grew.  This was one and when Taft saw me give it to his class at school, he was in a panic.  He thought that we gave his away.  That took a little explaining.
What are your kids favorite books right now?
