BOARD BOOKS

BOARD BOOKS

We had the joy of going to a baby shower this weekend for a very sweet new momma! Don't you just love seeing all the sweet sleepers and handmade blankets?

As a momma of littles I always carried books in the diaper bag. I tried to leave wiggle room in my errands running/outings for a break when little feet needed rest. You could find me in a dressing room, sitting around a restaurant table, on a bench, etc, etc with a stack of books reading to my littles.

So what did I take to the shower? Books! It was such fun to make a run to the bookstore and search through all the board books! My youngest is in fourth grade, so it has been awhile since I've visited those shelves.

Listed below is what I brought home and why. I've even included some peeks inside them, so you can see how delightful they are!

Known and Near are beautiful picture board books based on Psalm 139 (Known) and Psalm 23 (Near) by Sally Lloyd Jones and Jago. These books are filled with reaffirming words of scripture about how God is always with you. Could anything be more important?

Little One, God Loves You by Amy Warren Hilliker implants the truth of belonging to God's family and that they are loved and cherished.

Alpha Block by Christopher Franceschelli is part of a series of "block" books. They always include wonderful illustrations and fantastic cut outs! In this case the cut outs are letters that you flip to find a picture of a word that starts with the letter. These are so fun!

Pantone Colors is the ultimate color book! On one side of a page you have a picture of an item in a specific color with the color name. On the opposite page are several shades of the color with their different names and corresponding Pantone number. They are great!

Touch and Feel Tractor is part of a Touch and Feel series. My kids loved these books! Giggles galore as I would rub their chubby fingers over bumpy, smooth, sticky, etc surfaces! Always a win!

Hello Baby! by Mem Fox. Mem Fox is a great Australian children's author. This book is chock full of all sorts of baby animals (Geckos for example) and you have the fun of asking if your little one possesses certain physical traits that the animal baby has. Lots of laughs as the answers are no, but at the same time building awareness of recognizing animals and the differences between animals.

Hope you have a little in your life or the opportunity to borrow someone else's little for a board book reading time. Happy reading!!
