I have some boys who need to expand beyond the Tintin comics, and I was struggling to find something to catch their interest.Becky Home-eckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14622893853399044859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-18926539604427081232013-12-27T21:04:07.759-05:002013-12-27T21:04:07.759-05:00You and I are bookworms cut from the same cloth, S...You and I are bookworms cut from the same cloth, Sarah. I vividly remember poring over all the Little Golden books by Eloise Wilkin, like "Baby Listens", "Baby Dear" and "We Help Mommy". Even as a little girl, I dreamed of growing up and having babies that looked like her precious illustrations. This year things came full circle when I bought "Baby's Christmas" for the baby girl we brought home last Christmas Eve. One of the pictures in the book looks exactly like her, and it's like God's answer to the prayers of a child, 35 years later.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13954985263974184554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-91578679741861832502013-12-18T20:17:00.510-05:002013-12-18T20:17:00.510-05:00My sweet Amelia asked for a Harry book for Christm...My sweet Amelia asked for a Harry book for Christmas - it was actually the only thing she could think of that she REALLY wanted. That one with the old lady next door two sings and makes everyone crazy? She LOVES that book! Thanks for the other suggestions - will check out the ones we don't already have. Oh and the Bob Books - ha ha! My family talks in Bob Book speak sometimes just because it does get kinda old listening to "Pat and the cat sat on a mat" a thousand times! Speaking of favorite books... my kids are sitting under the Christmas tree right now, begging me to read Santa Mouse :)verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920122156259034765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-24799437411938500792013-12-04T18:47:08.985-05:002013-12-04T18:47:08.985-05:00I have book envy.

Reading your post today got me searching, and I'm going to get the LGB Farm Favorites book for my kids for Christmas. We have a little hobby farm with chickens and sheep, so they like reading about farm things. Something about those classic illustrations just makes me feel like all is right with the world. I have a Garth Williams Treasury of Little Golden Books with the many books he illustrated. I just love it.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-87571833197821628002013-12-02T21:02:27.596-05:002013-12-02T21:02:27.596-05:00Many of those are OUR favorite books by far, too. ...Many of those are OUR favorite books by far, too.

He is also a big fan of the Gregor the Overlander series, written by Suzanne Collins (the Hunger Games). It is a wonderful and very well written series! <br /><br />My daughter (19 months) loves to read just about anything, and we subscribe to the Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. Children under 5 receive a book, free of charge, every month. Be sure to check it out, it is a great way to expand your library (and I believe they are all hardcover). http://usa.imaginationlibrary.com/Jayme Ziemerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11653250523298522588noreply@blogger.com
