#MelendiaReads1000 Books 12-21 📚❤️ We’ve had some fun books over the past few days! We love #Indestructibles books so much because Melly can chew, pull, throw, sit on, spill on, and read them without messing them up. Baby Babble is a fun read and teaches some great #earlyvocabulary. @curiousgeorgeandfriends Pat A Cake book is a great interactive read for littles! We read it over and over! I Love You Grandma by #RoryTyger is a sweet read about Grandma! I Like Myself by #KarenBeaumont is a great book about self love and acceptance! It’s never to early to broadcast that positive message. I Am Human by #Susan Verde and #PeterHReynolds is a great book about empathy... something our world as a whole could use more of! We threw in some STEAM education with HTML for Babies @sterlingkids and @girlswhocode #BabyCodeMusic and #BabyCodePlay! I’m Wild About You by @sandramagsamen is a short fun read that kept her attention span for a good bit! Last but not least, Tickle Time by @igloobooks_usa was a really great interactive story and Melly LOVEEEEES the red fingers! Lol she really enjoyed this one a lot! #1000booksbeforekindergarten #1000booksb4k #raisingareader #MellyReads https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu_E194l987/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=276m9e020vvd

Books 9 and 10📚❤️ Grow It! Illustrated by @georgiebirkett and Our Love Grows by @annapignatarobooks Loved the conversation starters in Grow It! This will be awesome when Melly is a bit older and able to answer back. Our Love Grows is so sweet and one we read about once a week at bedtime. Great reads! #1000booksbeforekindergarten #1000booksb4k #melendiareads1000 https://www.instagram.com/p/BuZHcIZl4uK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19c6p5agczcve
