new! We
have three little bibliophiles in our family, all 2 years old and under, and I
thought I should give them their say! So I'm adding a section called Kid's
Eye View to my online bookshop featuring Faye's Favs, Cade's Favs, and
Blake's Favs :) |
Faye's Faves:
Faye is 2 1/2 and has been a bibliophile from the time she was born! I
read her nursery rhymes when she was just an infant, and they still rate high on
her list. For a short time she liked the ones I could sing to her best, or
that were good for soothing and bouncing, but mostly she just seems to love the
rhythm.
Books have always been helpful to her for all the ages and stages from
separation anxiety to potty training.
She loves almost all books, but her favorites she asks for again and again.

|
My Very First Mother
Goose edited by Iona Opie- Faye has loved this book since she was an
infant. We've tried other Mother Goose books, but this one is her number
one best pick. Most of the familiar rhymes are there, and only the
gentle ones- no wife cutting off blind mice's tails. And the cozy
illustrations by Rosemary Wells of bunnies and cats are totally
charming. |
Owl Babies by
Martin Waddell- Faye has separation
anxiety. It's waning- but she still relates to Owl Babies and
wants to read it over and over. She especially loves little Bill, who
repeats throughout the book "I want my Mommy!" A lovely, reassuring book
written with repetition, and a delight to read aloud. The fluffy baby
owls illustrated by Patrick Benson are endearing and add much to the
enjoyment of the reading experience. |

Cade's Favs: Cade is a very active almost two
year old, who loves being outdoors, animals, and garbage trucks. He loves
books that are noisy or invite activity, or are about his favorite things.
He also is busy increasing his vocabulary, and likes first word books of all
kinds. Here are a few winners: | |
| |
Blake's Favs: Blakey is an active 10 month old baby,
crawling and "cruising" and getting into everything he can, but he still makes
time for books. His books must be board books, as he tends to chew on
them! His favorites are photo books about other babies.
Lift-the-flaps are fun for him, too. |

Hugs
& Kisses |
|
|
| |
Blake loves this board
book, all about hugs and kisses! He loves any books with baby
photos, but this book has the added benefit of a sweet rhyming text and
endearing pictures of babies getting hugs and kisses from family
members. And of course he receives some hugs and kisses as we read the
book! |
