[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Richard Scarry -- the "Cars, Trucks, and Things That Go" book is I swear like 70 pages long. I think DS deliberately chooses it for bedtime because it takes forever to read it. And you have to find this super teeny tiny bug "Goldbug" on nearly every page. It drives me insane. But...DS loves the book and the pictures are cute and interesting, so what's a mom gonna do, right?!

Love this thread.  Yes, Cars and Trucks can be long but I've found that DS knows where goldbug is now, and the book moves fairly quicly because all he wants to do is locate Goldbug and turn the page.[/quote]

Yeah, but doesn't he want to look at each and every vehicle? DS finds goldbug too, but then he wants to talk about the pickle truck! The cheese car! The witch on a broom! Takes forevahhhhh I feel my life draining away, please please DS just pick a book that doesn't take 25 min to read and one with an actually interesting plotline... .[/quote]

What I do with this book is read like every 3-4 pages.  My kid is almost 4 and has not noticed yet!  The trick is to keep your finger in the spot for the last page you read, because he is always asking to go back to previous page to revisit something, and otherwise you will be caught.[/quote]
