Ten Little Ladybugs

A friend of mine's daugther is graduating from high school this week. My friend shared a snipped of her daughter's writing in first grade. Sweet Memories. At the same time another friend shared a list of her children's favorite books.

I remembered Ten Little Ladybugs. We have read it hundreds of times and have loved it each and every time. I, however, do not ever remember having read it properly. I always made the text as we went along. Sometimes I talked about colors, other times about animals, and so on we went.

I am reading completely different books to my children now. We always take breaks from heavy reading by returning to the cuteness of the simple picture books. Last night we read these two cuties. Quite simple for my kids, at age 6 and 8, but still received very well. In fact, my older suggested that I read Mamasaurus for mother's day and Gator Dad for father's day.
