Bedtime Story

Kimi sekarang has acquired the habit of reading a story book every night before he goes to sleep. Finally!!! After a year plus of me reading to the dinding and bantal, Kimi now will listen to the story I read to him from cover to cover. Yeay! And lagi best, he wont let me stop at one book. Usually he'll ask for 2-3 books sampai he gets tired and will sleep on his own. 

Currently his fav book is "The Great Paper Caper" by Oliver Jeffers. It's about a bear who steals tree branches from the forest to make paper planes. I dont know kenapa Kimi suka, aku pun sebenarnya dah nak muntah baca buku ni everynight for the last two weeks. 

Actually we have 3 other titles by the same author; Way Back Home, How To Catch A Star and The Heart and the Bottle. Memang kitorang  collect pun buku by him. Kimi pun suka all the books. We stumbled upon his book by accident at the BookXcess and we became fans eversince! The storylines are simple with absolutely stunning graphics. There are 5-6 titles, we're still looking for Lost and Found at Amazon.com and Half.com. Memang ada, tapi mahal, compared to BookXcess at least.  =(

Eversince we discovered BookXcess, we make sure that we visit it at least once every two weeks and let Kimi choose his own books. Yknow, if you involve him in the decision-making process he'll appreciate the stuff you buy him better. Trust that he will take care of his stuff sebab he will appreciate it. Hopefully we manage to retain his book-reading interest sampai dia besar!

Note: Sebenarnya pegi library pun boleh, lagi murah! Its just that I havent returned the two books I borrowed and macam segan nak pegi lagi hihi.
