Sometimes I think parents get hung up on making sure everything is edifying and purposeful. Some parents are deeply concerned about avoiding what Charlotte Mason calls twaddle.

But you know what? Sometimes you and your child want books that are just plain fun.

Duck, Duck, Goose! A Coyote’s on the Loose!

Duck, Duck, Goose!: A Coyote’s on the Loose! is one of those books.

I’ve lost track of how many times we’ve already read it and how many times Caroline has recited just the title. She’s also memorized quite a bit of the inside text.

I suspected this would be a winner when I discovered it at the library because funny animals are all the rage right now.

You know what? Relax and have fun with your small child. Enjoy fun language and silly stories. A little bit of fun may be exactly what you need.
