Move Over, Little Ladybug

There's a new favorite book here, and it magically gets the kid to:

Eat when he doesn't want to
Calm down when he's pissy (often)
Grab something that isn't the terrier's tail
Learn how to kiss (or nip? or slobber?)

It's like Pat the Bunny, without the hypnotic non-sequesters. This one is strictly big faces, big textures, lots of color, excess and decadence everywhere.

Welcome, That's Not My Monster.

(and if you have something against monsters, there is a whole "That's Not My" series featuring dinosaurs, kittens, trucks, teddies- the stuffed sort, not the wearable ones- cars, puppies and bunnies, but really, their dinosaurs look a Hell of a lot more like monsters than the things one finds in the Museum of Natural History.)

When he's a little older, try My Monster Mama Loves Me So. My girl loved it for 2 years til she outgrew it. We can both still recite it by heart, though.

It's really remarkable how books cling to the mind. My parents and I can recite all sorts of childhood books from memory still.

Thank you very much for the tip.
