“Who Will Guide My Sleigh Tonight?” by Jerry Pallotta & David Biedrzycki

Here is another one of our favorite books. (You can read all about our “A Book Bag Favorite” series, here.) Claire got this book for her birthday from one of her Great-Aunts and Great-Uncles. It’s a fun book to read, especially this time of year!
Claire loves the entire book, but she really likes the roaring tigers, the mischievous monkeys, and the part about the turtles and the cheetahs.
“The turtles…were…too…slow.”
“Thecheetahsweretoofast.”
Of course the presenter’s enthusiastic delivery of the material may have something to do with that. 
Needless to say, this book is entertaining for adults and little kids. It’s short, sweet, and keeps her attention long enough that we get to read it over and over and over. We’ve read it so much that she has it memorized. I love the fact that when I turn to the monkeys page, Claire automatically screams, “Don’t look at my underwear!”
And, in case you’re wondering, Santa appears to be a boxers kind of guy.
This is one of the books that Claire got with her book bag. It is perfect for the wintry weather we’re having right now!
“A Hat for Minerva Louise” by Janet Morgan Stoeke
I LOVE this little book, and Claire does, too! Minerva Louise is a cute little chicken that gets herself into all kinds of situations. In this book, she’s looking for a hat so that she can stay out and play in the snow.
I love it, and the pictures are a riot!
I think I’m going to start another ‘series’ on the blog. I’m going to post on the blog, probably weekly, a favorite book of Claire’s. I got this idea from one of the presents she got from one of my sisters for her birthday.
The aunt with the four boys had made a list of the favorite books in their house, and throughout the year had been collecting copies of them for Claire. Then, she sent them to us with a beautiful book bag she had crocheted (and even lined with plastic)…complete with butterflies, flowers, and a monogrammed “C”!! It is gorgeous and Claire loves it.
Here is the front of the Book Bag.
Here is the back of the Book Bag.
Here is Claire wearing it, and she’s in the process of saying, “I don’t want to stand here. I want to read a book!”

She also loves all the books. We’re slowly going through them, and Claire can’t get enough.
So, I’ve decided to share some of her favorites (from this collection and others we have) on the blog.
This will be a nice way to keep a record of her favorite books!
