Nobot, the Robot with no Bottom

[KEV67]

According to my son, Adrian, this is the epitome of literature. I read it to him four times this evening alone. I have had to hide it. It's about a robot called Bernard who loses his bottom in the park, hence 'Nobot'. As far as Adrian goes, the money shot is when Bernard finds his bottom again. He always laughs at that page. This is a bit odd, because he has not really started talking yet. I wonder if he understands more than he can speak. I wonder how much sense he can make of the pictures and whether he understands the word, 'bottom'.

The joys of parenting 😃

I bought two other picture books, which to me seem pretty good books for small children. Having thought about it, I think it is better to keep reading Adrian Nobot. It is the one he enjoys and seems to understand a bit. Bernard the Robot loses his bottom on the swing, and Adrian is familiar with swings. He knows a bit about bottoms too I expect.

How old is Adrian now? They definitely do understand words before they can say them. I’m testing my memory a bit here but I think it’s usually from 6 months that they can understand some words  . Nobot does sound like good child humour but I don’t think I’d want to read it 4 times either 😂.

 

Which other picture books did you get?

[KEV67]

Adrian has other picture books that other people have bought him. One is Peter Rabbit. Another is You Can't Throw Your Granny off a Bus. I have bought him a bible for toddlers, but I have not started reading it to him yet. I have also bought him The Scarecrows' Wedding, which I think is jolly good. I bought him another book called Don't Let an Elephant Drive a Digger. Adrian has not shown much interest in these books yet.

 

Adrian is coming up to 19 months.

Wow, I can’t believe it has been 19 months! 
 

I used to love Peter Rabbit. I’d like to get a Beatrix Potter set for Olle at some point. ‘Don’t let an elephant drive a digger’ and ‘you can’t throw your granny off a bus’ sound like hilariously specific bits of advice 😂.
