Every Mom knows the benefits of reading to your child when they are young. We want to encourage the love of reading, spend quality time together, make memories, teach reading skills and nurture creativity. The list goes on and on, as does your child's request for "just one more story, Mom".
All this reading can make your book shelf and Mom's attention span, a little stale. Even though your child may like to hear the same stories over, and over...and over again, Mom may be looking for some fresh material.
I recently found a cute one called, "Previously" written by Allan Ahlberg and illustrated by Bruce Ingman. This funny and clever book is full of the unasked questions of what happened to famous storybook characters. Where did Goldilocks go after she left the house of the three bears? Did you know Cinderella had bumped into the The Gingerbread Man as he was being chased by a hungry mob? This silly and adorable book is worth the read and is definitely a fun way to freshen up that stale reading selection.

Have you ever read "The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales" by Jon Scieszka? He also wrote "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs" and "The Book that Jack Wrote". We really enjoy his works! :-)
Wow Cathy! Sounds like the perfect books for my daughter...she's at that age where she asks the hardest questions about everything! THANKS!
I appreciate the recommendations. I'll check those out.
