Happy Summer Birthday Xander






Happy Summer (Pretend) Birthday Xander!

Xander wants a Super Hero party this year - so superheros it is!

He requested chocolate chip muffins with superhero rings in them for his school pretend party.

I was fortunate enough to also be able to stay and read his book to the class.

For those of you who don't know, each year Tommy and I select a hard back book that we think reflects the year for each child.

This year for Xander, we chose:

The Bravest Knight by Mercer Mayer

http://www.amazon.com/Bravest-Knight-Mercer-Mayer/dp/0803732066/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1212514547&sr=8-1

As Xander is our resident dress up king, knight, Peter Pan, Pirate, and many other things - this book talks about how a little boy wishes he could have lived a long time ago in the world of knights and dragons!

My other favorite reason for choosing this book is that it is so funny - just like Xander! The illustrations in a Mercer Mayer book are what make the story really come to life, where you find the humor of the story. Perfect for those little boys who aren't quite reading - just yet!
