Best Picture Books According to 5-year-old Tabitha

Five-year-old Tabitha asks for these picture books again and again. As a matter of fact, she found it hard to complete her blog post, because she wanted to just keep reading the books!

King Bidgood's in the Bathtub



Tabitha: This book is funny because the king never gets out of the bathtub until the very end! He eats in the bathtub, he goes fishing in the bathtub . . . he does everything in the bathtub!


Mom: This book is beautifully illustrated, and a favorite among all four of my kids.





D.W. Thinks Big


Tabitha: I like the book because D.W. is a hero!




Mom: This book describes D.W.'s feelings of lostness in the hectic flurry of her aunt's wedding. In the end, she saves the day!








If You Give a Pig a Pancake


Tabitha: This is the silliest book!





Mom: Yup.








Olivia


Tabitha: I like her outfits. And her humongous sand castle building that goes all the way up to the sky!


Mom: Olivia rocks! This is one of MY favorite books.







The Cat Barked


Tabitha: I like this book because the cat wants to be a dog and then the dog wants to be a cat!




Mom: A great book about the futility of comparing yourself to others and trying to be something you're not.

  1. I have some granddaughters that must have read about King Bidgood in the Bathtub. They think it is great to stay in the bathtub all day as well. Sometimes I kind of like to do that also. Ambuya

  4. I must say, I don't remember ever eating lunch in the bathtub. It seems like I might have helped granddaughters go fishing in the bathtub. Ambuya
