Friday Notables - Where's My Nose?

There are so many books for children and toddlers out there it can sometimes be daunting choosing just one and there will always be those three or four books that will be best loved by children. I have found that Where's My Nose? by Susan Ring and Stephanie Peterson is one of those books that really immerses the toddler in its pages. The text flows very smoothly, is simple, and rhymes. The concept is also very simple - Where's My Nose? prompts almost every child to try and find the nose in the illustrations or to point to the reader's. Perhaps the most attractive aspect of this book, though, is the mylar mirror at the end which lets your child find his/her own nose. After a few reads, your child will begin to anticipate the mirror at the end and may likely skip to the back just to see themselves in part of the book. This is a book that will likely be read many times in a row, but when you see your child's enthusiasm for the book and their discovery for identifying where a specific item is you will probably be excited to be reading this book over and over as well. Enjoy and thanks for reading!
