Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother Too?

Although a bit simplistic for my tastes, the repetitive nature of this story is just what a toddler loves. Each page has a beautiful water color of an animal with the question, "Does ....have a mother too?" The following page has a lovely painting of the animal with a yes. Atticus does not seem to tire of this story. A sure hit with any young toddler!

Be Still

"Be Still!" is one of Atticus's new favorite sayings. Ivy was never really interested in Where the Wild Things Are. In fact, the wild things still scare her a little. Atticus, however, can't get enough of Max's antics. He sees Max chasing the dog with a fork, and excitedly yells, "Trouble!" Somehow this timeless classic speaks to his life - trying to have fun, being put in his crib in a time out, dreaming his way out of the punishment, and maybe even controlling Ivy with, "Be Still!" Maurice Sendak does not disappoint; Atticus is a fan!
