Trucks

This is another one of those books that we found just browsing the books in the library.  I have known about Gail Gibbons and her great books for a long time....  I had just never thought about checking any out.

This one is a hit!  I love that it has about a sentence on each page and then all of the trucks are labeled.  Can I just tell you how great these books are for teaching mommas who played with dolls not trucks as a child?!??!  Seriously y'all I almost consider a book like this a research book for moms.  ;)  I also love how there are some pictures that show a sequence of events that are great for getting mom and kiddo to talk about the trucks.  {You better believe that if I am trying to rush bedtime James will literally turn back the page and say, "Talk, Mom!"}

Another classic that I highly encourage you to look into if you have a transportation lover on your hands.

Trains (non-fiction)

A few weeks ago at the library, I randomly saw this book.  I asked James if he would like it and he said, "YES!"  This book has quickly become one of his very favorite books.  I think that this might be one of the first non-fiction books that we have checked out from the library.  {If you know anything about me, you know I am not a huge NF fan....but I know that boys especially little ones do in fact love NF!}

This one has turned out to be perfect for his age because it is short and sweet.  A lot of the book discussed things that he already knows like what different train cars are called, but I think that makes it fun.

I highly recommend this one if you have a little one who likes trains.
