Keeping A List

[debka_notion]

I decided to start keeping a list of kids books that we're really enjoying, so I can remember for future gifting-to-others, not to mention future library trips.

English Books
Dinosaur Kisses, by David Ezra Stein
Quiet Bunny's Many Colors, by Lisa McCue

Hebrew Books
לכי מפה מפלצת ירוקה- Ed Emberly, translated by someone else- probably great in English (or better even? But we found it in Hebrew first, and Hebrew books I can read rather than having to translate as I go are wonderful, although Haggai makes many kids books even better in his Hebrew narration than in their English original- but I may be biased).

My undergrad thesis was about Israeli children's books. One of my favorites for the younger children was "Et Zeh," if you can get your hands on it. It's about a kid named Noam, whose dad can't figure out what he wants, and Noam just keeps saying "Et zeh." Turns out he wants his dad to pick him up and play with him.
