A Day on the Farm

Rachel's most favorite book is A Day on the Farm, an illustrated pop-up book that I bought from Borders bookstore's bargain corner for RM23.90 last year. This is, by far the best bargain book (pardon the pun) that we bought for her. From the book, she learnt the sounds the animals make, and she would make us read again and again and again and … well, I usually limit myself to 2 rounds, then I'm out. My mom is more patient and would read to her as many times as she wanted, or until my mom's voice gave out (it is not easy having to imitate all the animal sounds repeatedly).

In case you are wondering … the book is still in such a good condition only because until recently, she was only allowed to look and touch. Now she is allowed to hold, which explains the early signs of damages. It can't be helped, she's fascinated by the 3D effect.

Wooly sheep gets the most damage - the white one's head keeps getting ripped off!

I had a hard time describing the rabbit because it doens't make a sound. But now Rachel knows it's rabbit when she sees one.

When we get to this page, she doesn't want me to finish the story, but start again at the beginning. She screams when I say "the end"
