Miss 3 and I like to explore different books at the library and try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

This was one of the books that I chose. She likes the song but for some reason didn't show much of an interest in this picture book version of the song.
