I love books. I’ve always been a avid reader, and continue to make time to read, even as a busy mom, (Once I’m done typing this post, I am going to read a bit while the kiddos nap! A book I’ve been waiting for on hold at the library finally came in!)
So it stands to reason that we also love children’s books, and have amassed a little library! I’m always looking for new books to add! These are some of our current favorites!
Lost and Found- by Oliver Jeffers
A boy finds a penguin, and sets off to take him home to the South Pole ! On the way they become fast friends. The story is really sweet, and the artwork is adorable!
Cuddle bug – by Nicola Edwards
This one is a very favorite! The rhyme is so sweet, and endearing, and my kids love the cute cutouts! A perfect bed time story!
Toot- by Leslie Patricelli
This little book explains certain bodily functions, and always makes my 2 year old and husband giggle. Okay fine, it make us all laugh! This isn’t my kind of humor at all, but I knew they would appreciate it, and it’s become a favorite as it always brings hilarity!
The Going to Bed Book- by Sandra Boynton
Her artwork is so cute! And the stories are nonsensical and perfect for bedtime! A group of animals gets ready for bed!
I Am a Big Brother- by Caroline Jayne Church
A new baby arrives, and big brother learns all about how to help out with everything Baby needs! We bought this before our daughter was born, and it’s been a fun book to read as our son learned about being a big brother himself!
Little Blue Truck – by Alice Schertle
We love little Blue! The artwork is so fun, and the stories are wonderful, and sweet! Usually there’s a good lesson woven in, and little blue truck is so kind! A great read with littles!
We also love the Block Books! (We have found them at Costco.) they are so informative and so fun! The Alphabet one is our favorite right now, it’s perfect as a tool to help learn the alphabet!
What are some of your family’s favorite children’s books?
With love,

Loving My Littles 
I love children’s books too! I have seen some research come out that says reading picture books is super valuable… even for high schoolers!
Anyway, have you checked out Read Aloud Revival? They put out a monthly picture book list and they have covered so many books on their podcast. One of my all time favorite picture books I learned about from her is Goldfish on Vacation.
Another picture book I love is called The Darkest Night… I think that is the title… but it is written (or co-written maybe) by Chris Hadfield. This talks about a fear of the dark, but he wanted to go out into space… it is set around the moon landing. Anyway, I found this book at the YMCA when I worked there.
A few others… The Library, The Gardener, Cranberry Thanksgiving, We’re Going on a Bear Hunt… I can’t think of any others right now…I should keep a list!
