Polar Bear Polar Bear what do you hear

"Polar Bear Polar Bear what do you hear ?" is NR's favorite book.

In my desperate efforts to entertain him while trying to make him sit, I started reading him books since he was 5 months old . This book was one of the books first set of books I brought from library. Out of those 12 books, two books became his favorite books. 

How do I know? He  was never interested in looking into other books. He will turn his face right or left continuously while reading other books. When did I notice this ? The very first time. 

 He received his own copy of these two book as Christmas gifts last year.  The books travels with him everywhere .

Till this date he treasure this book. He gave his first clap when I took out this book to read when he was 10 months old. His face oozes with happiness (also with tonnes of  jollu ) when he sees this book.  Whenever he cries or has separation anxiety or temper tantrums all I have to do is to take out this book.  Unfortunately I packed these two books in checked luggage and had a tough time during our travel to India. I made sure to have them handy during our return trip. He never liked sitting in the "facing out" position during take off and landing.  so these two books came handy during landing and take off during our return journey. 

He is so familiar with all the animals in the books, he was psyched to see them in person during his first zoo trip last month.  

Another fav book is "It's good thing you are not an Octopus".
