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!
