I decide to briefly interrupt his playtime. Sitting cross-legged on the floor, I browse the little library we set up for our children. Several titles lay scattered on the ground, but the one I choose to entice Ian with, still remains on the bookshelf. I open it and start to sing the text:
Well, I have a thing to tell you,
and it won't take long--
The way I feel about you
is a kind of a song.
and it won't take long--
The way I feel about you
is a kind of a song.
I hear the rustling of Ian's clothes as he scrambles to his feet and runs towards me. "Mommy, mommy, I want to read ******* *****!"
An excited smile covers his face as he falls into my lap. Together we share a wonderful book and create a special memory.

Anyone familiar with the text of the book? Any guesses as to the title?

Fuzzy little snuggle puppy, I love you! :) Great book.
Awwwww! As an early literacy teacher, I thank you for instilling the love of reading in him!
What a sweet memory!
Snuggle Puppy! My kids have the Philidelphia Chickens book and CD from Kohls. They love it!
Wow, am I stupid or what? I didn't know and I do read to my kids, they have books galore.
One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish!
SNUGGLE PUPPY! We loooove that one.
Can you tell? Got a little carried away there, sorry.
I have never heard of Snuggly Puppy. I'll have to get it for my two year old. It sounds wonderful!
Oooh, snuggle puppy.
Gotta love you a little Snuggle Puppy! The BoyChild won't let me read it often because I want to kiss on him when I do.
Aha, singing a bit to entice him into reading - - now that's a thought! I swear I've got to come up with new ways of making reading just anywhere in the house a normal thing... very cool!
