Books You Want on Your Shelves!
Reading together can be such a special bonding moment with children and is often incorporated in a good bedtime routine because it is a nice calming activity. Reading with babies helps build their language and literacy skills naturally through play. It also helps them build reading skills that include turning the pages, talking about the story and making connections with their own world.
There are so many books on the market and let's face it, as parents not all of them are as enjoyable to read. I have put together a list of a few household favorites with beautiful stories and graphics that I never minded reading over and over again.
Poodlena By E.B. McHenry
This is a beautiful story that was a household favorite. Plus it gets bonus points for starring a Poodle!
Has Anyone seen Winnie and Jean? By E.B. McHenry
This is a great interactive read about runaway dogs!
Finklehopper Frog Cheers- by Irene Livingston
Another household favorite story about bullying! Great read for kids and it’s enjoyable for parents too!
On the Night You Were Born by Nancy Tillman
This is a beautiful story with incredible illustrations. I love all books by Nany Tillman but this one is a favorite. It’s a great book to remind little ones how special they are and also a great gift!.
Wherever You Are My Love Will Find You by Nancy Tillman
This is another great Nancy Tillman book that talks about a parent’s love no matter how near, far or old they are. It’s such a sweet read.
