We've had the book "Three Cheers for Hippo" before at least a couple of times and for each boy when he was younger. I got it again yesterday from the library because it's a rare book that has few written words, but still a plot. This time I got it for Harry and not for us to read to him. With phrases like "Hippo speaks" and "Cat is scared," there's nothing that's really beyond Harry newfound interest in sounding out words and this is a story that he can make some progress on. Of course, it's still a lot of work for him: he made it only about half way through the book this evening. But his new reading ability is very exciting, for him and for us, and both mommy and I laid with him at bedtime as he worked his way through it.
