It felt so good to just read! Thanks for your inspirational posts and recommendations.

The baby in it looks just like my own babies, especially on the bath page, so much so that I get tears in my eyes remembering my newborns.

There is a lovely Eloise Wilkins "Little Golden Book Treasury" on Amazon for around $10 that we have only had to buy new with each baby because it is so loved by each child. It has "Baby Dear" (!), "Baby Listens" and several other classics like "Busy Timmy", "Terry's Who Is it?" and "We Help Mommy" as well as several others. It is a great little book!

Love the simpler, sweeter picture books - they are fewer and farther between these days. I have the Nanny book you recommended up next on my reading list once I finish my current book which is sweet but melancholy.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16059542061229594857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-45664386835113866382015-10-30T07:49:09.088-04:002015-10-30T07:49:09.088-04:00There is nothing like Eloise Wilkins' illustra...There is nothing like Eloise Wilkins' illustrations. So very sweet. My wild and crazy and messy and loud and active little 2 1/2 year old son loves nothing more than to snuggle into my lap with a stack of vintage little golden books.

It's letters from depression-era farmers wives to a magazine, and I love the bits of wisdom and glimpses into their lives.
