Blueberry Girl was a gift to my daughter by a friend of mine. It was written by Neil Gaiman, and illustrated by Charles Vess.
It’s a beautiful book with full-color illustrations. A little repetition keeps her attention and large words (I hope) spark her vocabulary.
I know she’s only one, but she listens to everything. She says more words every day, and though they’re not completely clear, she’s getting more expressive.
I haven’t let her pick this one up and carry it around the house yet. It’s not a favorite of hers, but I like reading it to her. The words are calm and the pictures don’t excite her, which makes Blueberry Girl a great choice for bedtime.
My Mum got that book for me to help inspire me in my childrens stories, then she finally read the stories I had sent to her months before, and told me I don’t need the inspiration after all. I’m taking that as a good thing. =)
That’s awesome, Shawna! Keep at it- I always like listening to them.
