Story Time!

Abigail loves to read. She reads to herself at various times in the day.

But story time before bed is her favourite time of the day. We read 3-5 books every night before bed, but these 3 are her current favourites. She knows them page by page and gets hysterically excited when I say the words "ocean", "rumble" or "penguin" before story time. The anticipation is brilliant, she LOVES these books.

Rumble in the Jungle by Giles Andreae and David Wojtowycz was the 1st book in the series that I bought, and I think still her favourite. The story is short and sweet about life in the jungle. Her favourites are the Gorilla, Zebra and Chimpanzee.

Commotion in the Ocean by Giles Andreae and David Wojtowycz is so much fun to read. I actually look forward to reading this book. I almost sing the words now, I know it off by heart like Abigail. The 1st line is:

"There's a curious commotion at the bottom of the ocean, I think we outta go and take a look".

Abi loves to say "bzzt" on the sting ray's tail, squeak like a dolphin and jiggle like a jellyfish. She loves this book so much, we have to take this book on every overnighter, to Nanna's house or on holidays.

Perky Little Penguins by Tony Mitton and Guy Parker-Rees is a fabulous story about the life of a penguin. Abi loves counting how many penguins per page, and loves seeing little baby penguins wearing floaties on their arms, just like she does in the pool. I do a special voice for the lost baby seal pup, which Abigail likes. I sound like a little scottish boy, it's really quite terrible, haha.
