Little Bat

Today marked a very important day for me - Mamma went back to work. She was a little more upset about it than I was, but in the end it all worked out. She was super happy to see me when she picked me up from the sitter. As soon as we got home I ate, and then we played together and then read this little book called, Little Bat. Mamma's friend from work gave me the book on Halloween and we read it together periodically. Don't be fooled though - this isn't a Halloween book, just a really awesome chunky board book about a little bat (Mamma LOVES bats). As soon as I can hold things a little better, I will be really excited to hold this little book and turn the pages by myself. It is just the perfect size for little hands. The most awesome feature of this book is that there is a finger puppet in the center that can move around as you read the story. I especially love it when my moms read me the story and then make the little bat move in the way the story explains. Even though it isn't part of the story, Mamma makes the little bat give me a kiss on the nose at the very end. I love when she does that! It always makes me smile :) This book is perfect for a number of reasons, but the brief sentences, rhyming text, puppet, and small chunky pages with sturdy binding make this a book I will enjoy from now through my toddler years. I really want to take a look at some of the other little finger puppet books like this one such as Little Crab and Little Spider. Hmmm... I wonder if Santa reads my blog?
