March '08 Book of the Month

Announcing Planet Silas' first ever book of the month! Since Si and his parents love books we decided to share one with you (along with some honorable mentions) each month. Enjoy!

And this month's books is...
Close Your Eyes by Kate Banks ; pictures by Georg Hallensleben.

Silas LOVES this book. The vivid images capture his attention. He convulses with happiness when we show him the cover and will often laugh at the images of Little Tiger, who is resisting his mama's gentle attempts to get him to go to sleep. This is a beautiful story and Silas recommends that all of you parents out there read it to your young ones. You will be captivated too!


This month's honorable mentions:
Winnie the Pooh's Touch and Feel Adapted from A. A. Milne.
Silas is really into textured books now, and that makes this book very engaging for him.
And... 1, 2, 3 by UNICEF.
A counting board book that introduces readers to numbers as well as works of art. Silas is particularly interested in the picture for #5. He loves those clouds!
