Product Spotlight: Children's Books

I love to read.  My mother is a huge book lover, and passed the trait to me, and I hope to do so with Princess as well.  I think books are a huge part of imagination and are slowly being phased out with the introduction of the internet, movies, television etc.

I do my best to keep a rich library for Princess (and maybe for more later on in life!), that she can one day pass on to her children.  We have the classics ( "Goodnight Moon", "The Giving Tree" and "Guess How Much I Love You" being a few), and a few recommendations that I've picked up from other mom's out there ("Duck Soup", "You Are Special", "The Bellybutton Book").

Whenever I go for coffee with some of my friends, we end up in the children's section of Barnes and Noble so that Princess can play, and I usually wind up browsing for another book to add to our collection.  Today, I stumbled across a book called "Llama Llama Red Pajama" by Anna Dewdney.  I knew it was a keeper the second I opened up.  The illustration is unique, colorful and enticing, and the story is adorably cute with a great message.  Browsing Amazon later in the afternoon, I found two other books by the same author, and ordered them for our library as well.

Princess absolutely loves reading these books and looking at the pictures, and I highly recommend you pick up all three for your own collection as well!
