So E has the memory of an elephant. She got this from her Daddy he can remember anything about everything and is always right. E started memorizing books when she was pretty young I would say about 2. She started with Sandra Boynton Books. This was pretty normal to me as those books are very rhymie (yes I made up a word), and pretty predictable. She had Snuggle Puppy, Oh Me Oh My Oh Dinosaur, and The Goodnight book memorized word for word.
About three months ago we noticed she was memorizing longer and bigger books. This time it was The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Usually if we read her something 2-3 times she has it down.

She started something funny with the last book she memorized, and I just had to share it. E got Fancy Nancy for Christmas. For those of you not familiar with this book, if you have a little girl you must get it. E loves it, we read it at least twice a day and she smiles all the way through. After having it about a week she had it memorized too. The difference with this book is that she acts out the book as she says it. Yesterday she put a pretend sign on the Fridge telling me what it said (Learn to Be Fancy with Nancy) then went on to act out the whole book with me. I loved it. She even ended with "I love you because there is no fancy word to say that" I call her Fancy Emma and it gets a huge smile. We pretend to put on accessories and eat parfaits (that is french for ice cream sundae you know:). I love this book. I love that she loves this book. I love that she loves to act out this book. This book is so fun.
Because after all we are Fancy in our household. What books do your kids love?
