<\/p>\nWe read Lucy three or four books three or four times a day. That means she reads at least a dozen books a day, so it’s a good thing she really likes the three dozen on her shelf. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lucy has a single shelf of board books, and these are the ones we read together over and over. She loves to turn the pages herself as we read (and has from a very early age). Some of these you’ve seen already here at BNN, including “_Baby Faces_”:\/news\/2006\/baby-faces\/ and “_This Is My Hair_”:\/news\/2007\/this-is-my-hair\/. And we plan reviews of several other titles, a critique of the shoddy astronomical (dis)information conveyed by some authors {cough} Sandra Boynton {cough}, and even audio of Lucy “reading along” with one title! So stay tuned.<\/p>\n
As they say, “The literature is vast.” After tomorrow (her birthday), we figure the chances are good these holdings will have increased. But these earliest titles are ones that have certainly made an impression on Mama and Papa — and we figure, on Baby, too. We hope that she’ll learn to kiss (not to mention count) as in _Counting Kisses,_ that she’ll acquire a taste for playing pranks on authority figures as in _Good Night, Gorilla,_ and that she’ll remember to seek the Lord’s blessing “from head to toe” as in _Bless Me._<\/p>\n
