At the moment, board books are very popular with my little guy. And if you haven’t guessed by now, I like monkeys! That’s why this month I’m recommending That’s Not My Monkey by Fiona Watts. Although the book doesn’t have much text, new vocabulary is introduced through various textures in the book. In addition to the textures, bold, colorful illustrations and a catchy refrain appeal to little ones. And if monkeys aren’t your thing, check out the other titles in the series including: That’s Not My Tiger, That’s Not My Bear, That’s Not My Kitten, That’s Not My Tractor and many more.

What do you do when your 2 ½ year old won’t stop pulling the cat’s tail? Well, if you are one smart cookie, you go to the library and look for a book to explain in a positive way why this is definitely NOT a good idea. That is what one parent did and reminded me of a great little board book series about behavior. It is called the Best Behavior Series and includes books on a variety of subjects relevant to little ones learning about their world. The series includes: Feet Are Not for Kicking, Germs Are Not for Sharing, Hands Are Not for Hitting, Pacifiers are Not Forever, Teeth Are Not for Biting, and Words Are Not for Hurting.
