Children's Book Blog-Hop..

Welcome to blog-hop number 1! I am forever in search of extraordinary children's books for my little ones. While on a trip to Texas I made a trip to Half-Price Books & found two new favorites for our collection.


The first is one in series of three by Leslie Patricelli called Quiet Loud. We were happy to add to Big Little & hope to soon buy Yummy Yucky. The books are incredibly simple & Flynn loves "reading" them to us. The book is illustrated with pictures taken of paintings which gives it a very warm touch. You can preview the books on her site.


The second is a remake of a Golden Book classic called The Telephone Book. I originally bought it to have for Sobe but Flynn saw it & fell in love. On page one it asks the child to answer a little black telephone & then proceeds to give them instruction on how to look after their friends little brother. You then go through the pages & move parts on the pages to do so. So simple, sweet & just the right amount of interactive. I suggest buying several of this book to give for gifts. I use it as a book to pull out at bedtime as a special treat.

I am really interested in knowing about your favorite children's books. Please leave a post about it on your own blog & the link to it in the comment section here. You may want to title your link the title of the book(s) you are reviewing.

announcing blog-hopping!

This week I am starting a new feature on this blog called blog-hopping. The idea is to make friends & share favorites & such. What will happen is I will write a post about something & then encourage readers to write similar posts on their own blogs, then leave a comment on my post including a link to your blog post. So, say I write an article about a sugar cookie recipe. You then can write about your favorite cookie recipe on your blog & then post a comment about it including the link to your post. Get it!? I am really excited about it.

For the first little bit, since most of my readership on this blog is imaginary, please leave a link to my original post so that more people are drawn in to participate. The more the merrier!
