Okay, I know we've talked about Sandra Boynton before, but it's like Mo Willems.... I can't stop talking about great books!!
This is the lates we've picked up at the library-- and it is HILARIOUS! Holy cow. Sooooo funny. And Boo and Mister love it. In fact, I should do a video of Mister reading it. Oh my gosh. Cracks me up.
You can even download the song online: (Along with some of her others.)
Sandra Boynton Songs
It's hysterical.
Then of course, there's What's Wrong, Little Pookie?
I really think every parent needs this one. I mean, sure, the kids like it too, but really, it's for the parents. It is one of my absolute favorites.
Blue Hat, Green Hat, though, has got to be the one I've loved the longest.
This is one my mom has, and I think I read it to my younger siblings. I KNOW I read it to Boo before we had any of Boynton's other books.
The ending is priceless.
So, what's YOUR favorite Boynton book?!?

We Need A Little Boynton
As in Sandra Boynton.
I LOVE Sandra Boynton's books. LOVE LOVE LOVE them!
From Moo, Baa, Lalala to Hippos Go Berserk and everything in between, Boynton's books are an absolute must for any kid under the age of... oh, I don't know, 150 or so.
I think my favorite is Blue Hat, Green Hat. Mister loves Oh Me, Oh My Oh Dinosaurs. I'm not sure which is Boo's favorite. Her concept of what an author is is still shaky, so asking her to think of which books are Boynton's (many of which we sadly don't have) and pick something... probably not going to happen. In listing some of the books to her, she says she likes "the turkey one", so there's another vote for Blue Hat, Green Hat.
Our latest find, though, is Blue Moo. (17 Jukebox Hits from Way Back Never.)
Blue Moo comes with a fun cd, the words to all the songs, and, of course, Boynton's classic illustrations. Also, perfect for a young pianist, the music (simple melody line) is included also! How fun is that?!
Some of the songs included are "Speed Turtle", "The Uninvited Parade", "Gorilla Song", "Your Nose", and naturally "Blue Moo '62".
The main reason we checked it out, though? "I Want to be Your Personal Penguin". I have a penguin obsession.
Here are some pics/links to Boynton books: (I love What's Wrong, Little Pookie-- it's so Boo.)
