Mommy’s Maid of Honor got married last Saturday, July 7 2007 (7-7-07) and Nick’s cousin was also born on that day (at 7 AM!). And, Nick turned 6 months last Sunday. So, in the spirit of repeated numbers… we will give you reviews of 6 great books for A Great 6 months-old.
In general, we found that boardbooks are better than regular books for 6 months-old for a few reasons. They are sturdy (can withstand licking and light chewing), easy to handle (easy to flip and the baby size ones works nicely with those chubby little fingers), and FUN (bright colors, fun pictures, and bold letters). However, there were a few non-board books that we love as well.
Again, in the spirit of repeated numbers, the reviews are divided into 3 board books and 3 non-board books that Nick adores.
Board Book #1:
Little Mouse, I Love You by Caroline Anstey – Bilingual (English-Indonesian) version
This books begins with a question posed by a little mouse to his grandmother. “What is love?” Little Mouse said. To answer his question, Gran (grandmother) took Little Mouse for a walk around the forest. There, Little Mouse witnessed mothers of different kinds of animals nurtured their children. At the end of the day, Little Mouse figured out that all the actions by those mothers made up love.
Why we love it: The story is so sweet and the book is amazing. Beautiful, embossed pictures and lift-a-flap pages keep Nick’s attention while Mommy reads the story to him. He loves touching the embossed pictures and flipping the lift-a-flap pages.
