We have been reading so much lately! Mila LOVES to have us read her book after book. She even likes to pretend she is reading herself. Hudson is turning into a fantastic reader himself, so I am trying to get him books that he is really interested in. If a book is about a topic he really cares about, then he will try to read it even if it is way above his reading level.
Hudson:
DK Readers L1: Angry Birds Transformers: Deceptihogs versus Autobirds
Hudson is really into Angry Bird Transfomers, so this book was a huge hit. He has been bringing it to school to read to his friends. Despite all the crazy words in this book (Galvatron, autoreceptors, you know… Transformer talk) he loves to read this book.
Pups to the Rescue! (PAW Patrol)
This is really both Mila & Hudson’s favorite book right now. Our house is currently OBSESSED with Paw Patrol. We have about 30 episodes saved on our Tivo, and new episodes just came out this week… I have never seen my kids so excited. Mila can say every pups name, and they both gather around me while I read this book to them. Every. Single. Night.
Mila:
Zoo-Looking
I don’t remember where we got this book exactly… Mila found it on Hudson’s bookshelf one night. She has been obsessed with it ever since. She has me read this to her at least a few times a day. She likes to make all the animal noises and repeat what types of animals are on each page.
This was a gift from Grandma. Mila will read this book to herself over and over again! There is a pop-up sheep, that she INSISTS is a monkey… so now we just call it a monkey. She loves finding the animals on each page.
I am also back to reading… FINALLY! Two of my New Year Resolutions is to stop drinking on weeknights and go to bed earlier. (less reality TV!) Since I am not always tired when I go to bed, I have been reading, which makes me so happy. My kindle and I used to be best buddies at night, but since I had Mila I have been too exhausted to read!
Right now I am reading Station Eleven. I’m a little less than halfway in, and it’s starting to get really good. I am also doing the She Reads Truth Bible in a Year challenge. I have tried to do this before, and I think I only made it to March! Ha! Maybe I will get further this time, since I am using the app, so its right there on my phone. (but I am already a few days behind) If you have any good book recommendations, send it my way!

There's an Angry Birds Transformers book? I'm buying that for my Angry Birds Transformers loving son!
Yes! Its pretty good too.. I think there is only this one so far. 😉 Glad the post was helpful!
I love pop up books! They are great for keeping kids busy.
She loves this one, its the only popup we currently have that she has not ripped apart!! HA!
Oh we received the Angry birds book for Christmas. It's a BIG hit around here! As are pop books. Even my older kids will sit down with a pop up book!
I love those DK readers! Now if I could only find more paw patrol books! haha!
I love your book posts:) My little ones love pop-up books of any kind!
They are always a hit, but they never last long! My kids are popup book destroyers! (i'm surprised all the animals are still intact on this current favorite!)
My nephew loves pup patrol!!!!!
Yes, my kids are obsessed! Its a cute little show.. who doesn't like puppies? 😉
I miss those days! Now my Sammie reads college level and she's only turning 13. Keep having fun reading it pays off!
You must be so proud! I used to love reading when I was younger, and I still do now.. so I am TRYING to give my kids the same appreciation. (it is hard with my son sometimes!)
I'm going to have to check out your daughter's favorites for my son. I'm sure he would love that peekaboo book!
it is super cute, even with the monkey/sheep debate! Have a wonderful week!
paw patrol is a favorite anything in our house! 🙂
Its crazy!! Hudson loves the Paw Patrol app too! 🙂
Great picks! My son is pointing to the Pups to the Rescue book right now with interest.
haha.. it is actually a cute little book, it goes over each character and talks about what they do. Have a wonderful week with your b-day boy!! 😉
Thanks for the recommendations. Our kids love Paw Patrol. It is nice to know there is a book the would enjoy!
It is so nice to know we are not alone with our paw patrol obsession.. I am seeing from the comments that it is a pretty popular show! I had no idea! 🙂
I always see the commercials for PAW Patrol and think how cute it would be, but but toddler always begs for his dinosaur and Yo Gabba Gabba shows lol!
My kids never watched YoGabba Gabba. Actually we usually only watch disney junior, so I'm not even really sure how paw patrol got in the mix! ha!
Cute book ideas! My son has the Angry Birds Transformers game on his i-pad. It's pretty cool! 🙂
Yes we are OBSESSED with the game! He got the telepods that go with it for Christmas, which was a big hit!
Oh my goodness Mila looks so big!! How did that happen?! LOL
I love reading with my children. My youngest is absolutely IN LOVE with the book I Know a Rhino by Charles Fuge. We read it at least eight time a day.
I heard of She Reads Truth– I'll have to check them and the challenge out. Although I don't know if I could participate in that challenge this year. I'm currently doing a Bible study, reading the Story with my church, and writing out the Proverbs. Oh, and I'm doing PrayFit too– oh I love that devotional/workout program.
I never heard of PAW Patrol before. My girls would probably become obsessed. They love all things having to do with dogs.
xoxo
I know it, I blinked and she grew! I will check out the Rhino book!
It sounds like you have your spiritual planner pretty booked.. haha.. maybe next year for She Reads Truth. The app is good, but the website has daily readings as well that a free. (the Bible in a year was free, but they charge for other stuff that is free on the website, which doesnt make much sense to me)
And Paw Patrol is everything right now in my house! Have a wonderful week!! 🙂
Great line up will have to look up some of those for my kids.
Let me know what you think and have a wonderful week! 🙂
My son has just recently gotten into books. I love it! Heoves pop up books. I think Mila is on to something-it kinda looks like a monkey to me too. Ha!
Haha.. if I say "no, that's a sheep" she screams at me "NOOOOOOO…..MO-KEEEEYYYYYYY" 😉
I too live in a PAW PATROL crazy household! haha!! We have clothing, plush toys, clothes, shoes and the figures and vehicles…heck I can name all of them and sing the theme song…haha! BUT we do not have any of the books…guess I'll have to add that t the collection!!!
We sing the theme song DAILY! It's almost like our morning mantra… 😉
Angry Bird Transformers? I'm going on the hunt for it at our library.
Yes!! I think there is just this one book right now, but its pretty good! I'm sure they will have it there! 🙂
oh my gosh–haydan is obsessed with angry birds right now. she answered my business phone screaming something about angry birds over winter break. lol
hahaha You ave a very good secretary over there.. Barb. 😉
