Letter Oo Books

Here are the books we read for our two Letter Oo weeks:

Our main theme for the Letter Oo was Oo is for Octopus.

The only cute book on octopus that I could find was An Octopus Followed Me Home by Dan Yaccarino. It was such an adorable book though. The little girl takes home an octopus and asks her daddy if she can keep it. Her Daddy points out all of the crazy animals she has already brought home. She takes the octopus back to the ocean and comes home with a dinosaur. This was my daughter's favorite story for the letter O.

Our other theme was Oo is for opposites.




God Must Really Love Opposites by Rondi DeBoer was a really cute story. It talks about how God created opposites in our world like the bunny who runs fast and the turtle who is slow. The pictures were really nice too.

Black? White? Day? Night! A Book of Opposites by Laura Vaccaro Seeger.  This book is a little flip up book. You lift the flap to find the opposite. My shortcake loved picking up the flaps to find the opposite!



We read two books by Jane Katirgis: Over and Under; Front and Back
These books were a little too young for my 4 year old. They repeat the same opposite in almost the same way. I was kind of disappointed.





We read a cute book about a polar bear named Alex and a penguin named Zina. It was called Polar Opposites by Erik Brooks. The whole book focuses on the opposites found in both of them until they end up on vacation at the equator together!


 

Lastly, we read What's Up, Duck? A Book of Opposites by Tad Hills. This is a board book but it was a great book for my 4 year old. She was able to complete the opposites. The pictures are darling too! My 18 month old had fun "reading" it too!
