Farenheit 451 at the Strands

Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating on the 451 thing, but I've been very proud of Penelope's interest in books. By interest I mean she looks through them and doesn't chew them or rip them. Even her day care teachers commented how much she likes books and doesn't destroy them. Until now...
The book "Dog" has been one of her favorites since she could turn pages. It is one of those touch and feel books, plus has some pop up features. She didn't notice the pop up, moving dogs for months.

Here she is about to read "Dog" for the 50th time that night

Uh oh! Do you see below? There is a dog missing a head! I didn't get to her quick enough and she pulled off the "shake shake shake" head in a flash. It is pretty disturbing now. Hmmm....

She thought she'd lick it and stick it back into place
Ah well, I'm glad she had fun. I guess I might as well let her figure out how to tear up the rest of the dogs heads to add to her collection.

Ha ha ha! Perhaps a sticker book is in her near future so she can tear all she wants?

Ahh hah ha ha!! That's awesome. Franklin was great for a while too, but then he had his own dog book (no pop-up just a kids plain ole book, and not board either) and rip! So I took away page books, then he started eating the board books; chewing off some paper then either eating it, or play with it in his mouth. And he's 2 for crying out loud!! I guess he's catching up for all the chewing he didn't do for the first year and a half.

Hey! We have that book here at the library and the Shake, shake, shake dog is missing his head in our copy too. Perhaps it's a genetic issue...

haha! That's really cute. Ben used to trash pop up/flip up books too. She's getting so BIG!!!
