New Favorites

Every night before bedtime I read Maggie a book. It's probably my favorite time of the day because she is so content sitting on my lap and cuddling while I read to her (she will not sit still on my lap for anything else). She quite enjoys books, especially if I let her turn the pages.
Since our children's book collection is modest I often check books out at the library for her. Or maybe it's more for me so I don't have keep reading the same books week after week. Either way, here are a few of my new favorites that I found at our library.

Stick by Steve Breen. This is a hilarious book about a little frog that gets carried away on a big adventure. There aren't many words, so the pictures tell most of the story.
Daddy Hug by Tim Warnes and illustrated by Jane Chapman. This is a rhyming book with the most adorable illustrations!
Fifteen Animals by Sandra Boynton. This book has a surprise ending, which is what makes it so fun. Sandra Boynton has some pretty creative books.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY...Kelli beat me to the first comment!!

We love story books in our house too, and we are big fans of the library (even though a two year old and one year old still don't understand "being quiet") I recently ran accross this darling book with wonderful illustrations called the little boat...look into it!!
