Hey there friends - I have a really great question for you this week.... If you knew someone who was having a baby - what children's lit book or baby book would you give them as a gift?
My sister is due at the end of July with her first baby (a little boy!) and I wanted to pick her up some books that she can read to him as he grows. I have already purchased one book for my brother-in-law which I gave to him for his birthday when we all found out they were expecting... The Complete Adventures of Curious George 
(as it was his favourite book as a child).
(as it was his favourite book as a child).These are the books they have so far:
I really want to help them collect some of the greatest children's book so that their little one will have a love for reading like his momma. Let me know what your suggestions would be for different ages as well as I will be buying books for him all the time. :) I can't wait to be an Aunt - this little guy will be so spoiled.
Here are some others I was thinking of for future gifts as he gets older:
What were your favourite books as a child?
I love "The Tiger Who Came To Tea" by Judith Kerr, and anything by Julia Donaldson. Also the Hairy Maclary series, or Slinky Malinki. (I can't remember the author's name - possibly Lynley Dodd?)
ReplyDeleteGoodnight Moon! I loved that one when I was little. I also adored The Runaway Bunny, but I think that might appeal more to girls than boys. Maybe Harry the Dirty Dog? I found that one so much fun :D
ReplyDeleteKatie - thanks for the recommendations. :)
ReplyDeleteDayna - I'll have to check out Harry the Dirty Dog
I still have my favorite book - Lizzie's Lion - it's about a Lion (owned by Lizzie) who eats big bad robbers. LOL
ReplyDeleteAlso the Bernstein Bears books were always popular at our house and the Fudge books as we got older.
