Baby Ricco's 1st story book entitled "Thomas and Friends" was presented to him about 2 weeks ago. It is a hardback red colored touch and feel story book which was meant for Baby Ricco to touch and feel, introducing him to textures and words. This is a story of Thomas, the train who has friends harrold the aeroplane and james the truck. It describes the work they do in lighthearted nursery rhymes. The story goes "Thomas loves to drive through the countryside, he toots at the cows as he passes by...".
Ricco on 1st hearing this story read by myself was impatient. With a short attention span and not being exposed to story telling as yet, he was his usual self, not being able to sit still to listen to this story, wanting to grab the book to put into his mouth. However, after a couple of reads, he shows interest and enjoyment whenever this story was read to him. He hymes along, make cute little noises like "eeehhhh, aahhhh, hmmmm..." and sometimes high sharp screams in between as the story was being read to him.
As he responded to the story, it brought a smile onto my face and this gives me much encouragement to visit the library in order to introduce more stories to him. From here onwards, the next few books are entitled "The Boy on the Bus", "Clip Clop" and "Its Monkeys Bedtime". Ricco especially loves "Clip Clop". He often squeals with delight as the book was read to him.
