I “read” cars and trucks and things that go for my 2 year old every night. He recently found out that goldbug is on every page and now he won’t let me turn the page until we find him. It’s genuinely a lovely book. We got ours from buy nothing, it’s very old and taped up and it has a bunch of writing in it by a kid named Max.

When your son's interest in finding goldbug inevitably flags, what worked for my kiddo was theatrically sighing, "I wish goldbug was on this page. Oh well..." and then acting like I was going to turn the page before I could be corrected. Then you can escalate to "accidentally" covering goldbug up with your thumb and pretending not to know he's under there. It's basically DLC for your board book!
