Our best book from this week’s library haul was Pat Hutchins’ Bumpety Bump which we love for its rhythm, and also for the illustrations which wonderfully depict a rich garden growing above and underground. It’s a great book for this time of year when gardens are everywhere and Harriet’s prime fascination. Runner-up is Barbara Reid’s The Party, which I’ve read five times today.

Love this story! Actually I find most of Hutchins pretty good 🙂 Glad you’re enjoying a couple of books with great illustrations as well.
One whole week next week on Oma duty. Thanks for this! I am Oma but grandfather around here is “Bumpy.” Might be fun for Bumpy to read Bumpety Bump.
