We LOVE Grover!


Daddy and Jocelyn at bedtime.

Reading is a BIG thing in our house. We read before nap time, we read before bed time, and there's a box of books sitting in the livingroom for any time the need to read strikes. In addition to the box, we can have 40 + library books in the house at any given time, and we are back every week to return and replenish our selection. At the moment, our absolute favorite library books are the ones based on some of Grover's adventures. Now if you don't know who Grover is, then you need to watch some Sesame Street episodes to catch up!

Grover is the goofy, lanky, superhero monster muppet that brings out the silly in every one of the books we've read. You can play "Hide -n- Seek" in the pages of one, or admire his efforts as the "Messenger of Love" in another. But our personal favorite is "Resting Places" where Grover introduces you to his collection of colored circles that are used for resting parts of the body, ex: forehead, thumb, elbow, ear, chin... Now you have to realize this is an interactive book requiring participation by the reader. We look mighty funny placing the book on the appropriate body parts! But you can see why this is a favorite.

Time to go enjoy another Grover adventure!

  1. We're still stuck on Cookie Monster right now. Doesn't seem like there's the same variety of books centered around him, though...
