Owen Bear, Owen Bear, What Do You Read?

Owen's current favorite book is Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? He will preferentially pick it from a stack of books, and he turns the pages himself. Admittedly, he turns the pages with little regard to the words being read. Indeed, his pace generally requires one to read quite quickly, leaving little time for funny purple cat or blue horse voices. (Aside: The blue horse sounds like Nixon. Weird.) And once he turns the last page, he flips the whole book over, and it's time to go again. We generally go through about three or four times, though on the last pass, O will skip a few pages.

Dakota loved that book, too! Jason, not so much. Go figure.

I wonder if he is amused at how turning the pages makes the Daddy radio sing the same song.

Bisousette is not much of a reader. She much prefers to grab the book out of mama's hands, chew on it, then throw it halfway across the room. She's a little like George W that way...

We got 3 copies of that particular book, so I guess it is indeed popular. I'm not ashamed to say that I still haven't read the copy that I kept. I'm having too much fun with "But Not the Hippopotamus" by Sandra Boynton-- do you have that one? It has the BEST ENDING EVER! (hello from Texas, by the way. Ate at Luby's for dinner tonight. YUM)
