now, about Goodnight Moon....
I refuse to buy it, even though it's a good book....

Yitzy already thinks it's normal to say goodbye to EVERYTHING in a room before he leaves. as in, "bye-bye fridge. bye-bye orange. bye-bye table." seriously.

I think we'll hold off on teaching him to say good night to everything!!

My ds used to refuse to listen to books. I would hold him down on my lap and force him to sit through a couple of pages. The first book he actually began to like was goodnight moon. Now that's still his favorite, though he will allow me to read him others too.

My problem with goodnight moon is that the two little kittens are playing and the young mouse is standing there watching. I feel like saying, "Cats, there's a mouse in the house! Go get him quick!"

Regarding green eggs & ham, when my husband reads it he says green eggs & chicken and pronounces chicken like chick-an so it can ryhme. When I read it, my daughter picks the food that she wants me to use to substitute ham, so it never rhymes.

One of my kids also had some learning delay; the first book he "chaped" and focused on was Goodnight Moon. It's just so exlicit and simple - In the great green room there was a telephone. And a red baloon. Okay, I see that. Got it. Call me

chick-an - very cute Smile

pam - How did you make the eggs green? Confused
