Beloved Books: Byron Barton

by NewsMoms

In an earlier posting, Teresa discussed one of her children’s favorite books.  Today, Kelly talks about a series of books that her sons have loved.  We hope to continue featuring “Beloved Books” periodically in this space; please feel free to email us (click the “Contact” button at the very top of our blog page) with descriptions and/or photos of books your children adore!  We’ll share some of those right here on our blog!

Kelly’s Beloved Books
We are a home of devoted Byron Barton fans. My sister-in-law bought one for my eldest when he was just months old. Barton’s basic and bright colors framed in thick, black outlines combined with simple, demonstrative sentences held my son’s interest right from the start. My youngest is still enthralled! In fact, this past Saturday night we used packing tape to repair these books so my 4 year old could read them again. It’s not just one he reads at a sitting. We read all 3 at once – back to back to back. So for 6 years and counting, the trio of Barton’s work still gets a weekly workout.

Which reminds me – we need more packing tape!
