if i have to read "brown bear" one more time, ill go crazy!!!?

Is there a library near you? If so, take occasional library trips to get some new books. You could also buy some new books, but library books are more friendly on the budget.

I've practically memorized Brown Bear, Silly Sally, The Napping House, The Big Red Barn, Goodnight Moon... fortunately we have TONS of books which helps some and we also do library trips to help cycle books in and out of the house.

i think buying new books could be the answer, and try to buy something which doesn't have Bears, because from I've seen, you've got 3 books with Bears and that's not very good, in the sense that, she should know about other animals, broaden her knowledge (even if it's not scientifically :P) and not get too attached with just bears. That might also be the reason you're already bored of reading the books 'cause it's always the bears doing something. Maybe try to gradually read her less stories, like, only read them day-in and day-out, or not read at weekends, or something, so that she breaks the habit but still has you nearby reading her a story, showing your maternal side and safety at night, which is what children look for when they want their parents to read them stories.

Also, tell your husband that he should be more childish in a way that he reads the stories properly and doesn't make you go have to read them, after all, he has that responsibility too, especially when you're pregnant and need to rest as much as possible.

I have no idea until what age you'll have to keep doing it .. I guess stopping will just be a natural thing with no planning ..

By the way, I'm just a 17 years old boy and am no expert on babies, but those are my 2 cents. Hope it helps.

Best of luck, Miss =)

Buy her more books. The thrift store sells them for a quarter each. Rotate the books. Books that are becoming too repetitive, put them away for a while and make her choose from the books that are available. Do something different with the books, like ask her to point out pictures. My son also loves Brown Bear, and when we hit the last page, I ask him "where is the goldfish? . . . where is the teacher? . . . where is the yellow duck? . . . where is the black sheep?" and he'll point to each one as I randomly name them all off.

My son has a book shelf with over a hundred children's books, that my family has accumulated over the years, mostly from thrift stores. If my son is grabbing the same books day after day, I simply walk over and pull out a couple random books and I will ask him, "Do you want me to read these?" and he never protests. He is 21 months old, and is a huge book lover too! We go through a big pile everyday.

I'll just add one other thing. I know it gets a bit overwhelming to reread a book a million times, but I never discourage my son from bringing me that book every time. And to be honest, he will cling to the same book, but it's always a phase. There are so many books that he won't pick up anymore, when they use to be books he would constantly bring to me in the past. The day will soon come when your daughter will slowly stop bringing you Brown Bear too, and someday you will find Brown Bear under a couch covered in dust and you'll say, "Aww . . . I remember when she use to love this book . . . I use to read this to her all the time . . ."

You shouldn't discourage her reading, but you should encourage dads capabilities to read. You explain to dad that unless he wants the very crazy hormonal side of you to come out you suggest that he grabs a book and reads it whole heartedly and in a manor in which she will wanna come back for more.

Find some nice princess books and books about loving children and parents and making friends. Buy her many books. . . do not limit her books.

Get dad off the couch and motivated to read with her. She is also his child.

Good luck!

You need a lot more books. That way you can hide Brown Bear under the couch when she's not looking guilt-free. They always find them eventually, though. I have Brown Bear memorized now so sometimes I "read" it to my son while I'm changing his diaper. Also, sometimes I add animals to it ("orange penguin, orange penguin, what do you see? I see a silver fox looking at me!")

have you tried joining a library with your daughter, its great as you read the books once or twice then take them back, your daughter will love being able to chose the books as well,

some libraries offer toddler reading groups which would be a great place to meet new friends as well,

another good one is the leapfrog leap pad as they do toddler one so she could use it independently, you can get lots of different books for these,

hope this has been of some help.

Make stuff up as you are reading. Add things to the story. Give it a new twist. Tell it using different voices. Act out some of the things. That's how you bring variety to the same old thing.

LOL- Toddlers crave repetition. As you'll see in the following Parents' Magazine article:

Just have patience reading the story to her. Please don't deprive her of it. It's an important development phase for her and "Brown Bear, Brown Bear What do You See" is an important part of that phase.

They do have their favorites. Go to the dollar store or another similar store and let her pick out some new books. Don't discourage her reading.

Yeah get some other books. My mom used to read to me and my brother a lot when we were little.
