Our daughter has been INTO books! Multiple times she has pulled probably 20 books off the shelf and flips through them. Sometimes I ask her if she wants me to read it to her and she says, "no." She's been wanting to read the books herself. This morning she wanted to pull out all the bedtime books in her room and she wanted to read them in her room without me. I started to follow her into her room and she said "no." When I've been reading with her she likes to point to pictures and have me label the pictures for her. I think this is how she learned the word turtle which she used yesterday at the fish pond when we saw the turtle basking in the sun on the top of a rock. Another thing she's been doing is flipping to a page, like the title page, multiple times to hear me say the title page over and over. Or one morning this past week she wanted to only read the "Oh no" page in a Biscuit dog book.
Where's The Ladybug? by Ingela P. Arrhenius is one of the books we bought early on at our local bookshop. I feel like it's one of books that has helped her get into books. Interactive books are fun and this one has sturdy felt flaps in bright colors and a mirror on the last page. 
Other books by this author/illustrator that we have read and enjoyed:
Where's The Witch?
Where's the Hen?
Peekaboo Moon
Peekaboo Love
Other activities you can do alongside these books:
-Use the books in tummy time with babies.
-Use post-it notes to create flaps in other books.
-Sing the song "Snail, snail."
-Do the finger rhyme "The Dog Say, "Bow Wow" the cow says "moo, moo" the lamb says "baa, baa" the duck says "quack, quack" and the kitty cat says "Mee-OW." especially with her book "Where's the Dog?"
