MM and I love this story about a little boy and his favourite blanket, which he is told by his mother to throw away as it's all worn out. Instead the boy takes the blanket to his grandfather who makes something new out of the old worn blanket.
This one is a classic and a MM favourite! We read this one weekly and often refer to it when MM wants to quit walking up the hill, riding his bike, or finishing an activity. He likes to pretend he's the little engine that could.
Did you know the male seahorse is the one to give birth? This book tells the story of male fish species who take care of their babies instead of the mother. It's a refreshing read and you get to learn new fishes too!
A fun tale about Harry the dog who receives a sweater he doesn't like and tries his best to lose it only to find out that grandma is coming to visit and can't wait to see him in the sweater she gave him! We find out how something that's not right for one person can be perfect for someone else! Since the book doesn't cover the issue of gratitude, we talk a little about the idea of 'its the thought that counts' and how important it is to say 'thank you' when we receive something.

About MilkMonster Laughs
- MML
- Hong Kong
- Originally from Toronto, Canada, I am an ex-owner of a shoe designing/manufacturing company turned Stay At Home Mom, Children Photographer, and Gallery Owner. As a new parent, I created the MilkMonster Laughs blog in July 2007, when my son MilkMonster (aka MM) finally turned 6 months and started sleeping through the night. I was then able to get my head out from under the dark covers of sleep deprivation to share my adventures and struggles of mommy-hood, but mostly because I needed an outlet to keep me sane in a day of all things baby. Since then, my family and I have grown. My second son MiniMilkMonster (aka MMM) was born 2 months premature in May 2008 and In addition to my Children Photography Service, MilkMonster Laughs Photography, I have opened MilkMonster Laughs Gallery, Hong Kong's first ever art gallery which features contemporary and inspirational art for children created by artists from around the world. I thank everyone for the incredible support we've received and for coming along on this journey we call life. Love, Keiko (aka MilkMonster Momma)
