At The Same Moment Around the World by Clotilde Perrin, I don’t want to jump the gun, but I believe is at the top of my list for favorites. In the book you are taken eastward from the Greenwich meridian, from day to night, with each page showing a different time zone. It shows a […]
It has been a long time since I have showed you all a new children’s book that I love. Now most of the time we buy books they are chapter books. But these were beautiful and the girls and I were glad to find them. The Island by Marije and Ronald Tolman is a father […]
Do these illustrations looks a bit familiar? They are by a company that I have posted on a few times Belle and Boo. My little girls have their prints hanging in their rooms, some of their little dresses to wear, and I just recently bought some of their fabric. They recently came out with a […]
This isn’t a review–don’t do those anymore. My sister and I found this board game at Blickenstaffs (that huge toy store down in Provo) and the girls and I love it so much I had to show you. It’s a “Cooperative Board Game” from Peaceable Kingdom. Meaning you work together as a team to complete […]
I want to see if my sisters remember this just by the pictures: I really love when I remember random childhood memories and re-inact them with my girlies. Makes for the best kind of afternoons. Next up making mud pies in the backyard, putting on a musical and playing Barbies for hours.
Anyone have The Happy Day, by Ruth Krauss in their home? It is a 1950 Caldecott Honor Book so it might be more well known than I think. Abby came home a couple of weeks ago really sad that a little girl had moved out of her class. I showed her this book that I […]
There are lots of days when I feel like reading short & sweet stories to the girls. At our latest Barnes & Noble outing while we were in St. George, the girls found these gems. Squish Rabbit, by Katherine Battersby Squish Rabbit, by Katherine Battersby is about a sweet little rabbit that feels […]
I wanted to post about these two Halloween things a while ago. But in the past two weeks I have just been…WOW. I put too much on my plate, and even though it is all fun…it’s just too much. I tend to have to learn lessons the hard way, and my poor husband & family […]
Fall Is Not Easy, by Marty Kelley is a fall book we love. It makes us giggle — the tree just cannot get the hang of things! It feels good during the spring, summer and winter, but FALL?! Fall is just throwing the tree for a loop: I feel like the tree right now. I […]
If I Built a Car by Chris Van Dussen is awesome. Another author that can write like he has the imagination of a kid! In my opinion, if you don’t have that imagination, you have no business writing or illustrating children’s picture books. If I Built a Car by Chris Van Dussen follows the imagination […]
