Someone’s obsessed with Elsa Holmelund Minarik and Maurice Sendak’s Little Bear books
So obsessed that she pretends to make birthday soup in the kitchen sink during her daily water play:
So obsessed that she’s been calling her baby doll Lucy after the doll in the book Little Bear’s Friend
So obsessed that she knows the story word for word:
Video: Reading Little Bear Book from Carrie on Vimeo.
Oh, that ending! We’re all about keeping it real over here. “I hate this book!” is what happens when I ask her to read it three times in a row so I can get a movie of her storytelling. I don’t blame her for being pissed at me. I’d hate it too after reading it three times.
Although if last night is an any indication, I’ll be reading it five times to her before bed tonight.
But that didn’t stop me from just adding the books to Miss Leyba’s book wishlist
ok, as if the video isn’t cute enough, her choice of location for book reading and (what i assume is her personal choice of) headwear are just too much :)
i love that she’s still using the laundry basket as her reading chair! :)
The fact that she’s in the laundry basket is absolutely adorable…but I only noticed that when I watched the video the second time. The first time I was so excited about her expressiveness in recounting the dialogue that I failed to notice both the laundry basket AND the winter-hat-plus-short-sleeves combo. ;-) Priceless!
