Tom and Pippo


Tucker basically only reads books about vehicles (his recent favorites are about race cars), but occasionally we hit upon another subject that will hold his attention.

We've found a series of "Tom and Pippo" books by Helen Oxbury that Tucker loves. They feature a little boy and his stuffed monkey doing various mundane things (...make a mess, ...see the moon, ...go shopping, etc.). They are sweet, very short (one of my criteria for a good naptime book!), and Tucker is obsessed.

So, if you have a little boy and are dying to read anything besides trucks, trains and cars... try Tom and Pippo. At this point, unfortunately, I have read these books so much that the car books are starting to look pretty good again to me... maybe this is the point?
