Childrens Books We Love
I wanted to share some of the favorite Children’s Books my daughter and I read this year.
If you haven’t read Good Night Gorilla by Peggy Rathmann yet, don’t walk- but run to your nearest library to pick up a copy. This book is, simply stated- cute overload. A great pick for kids of all ages (and I do mean ALL ages) Good Night Gorilla tells the story of a mischievous little gorilla that is determined to snuggle.
Me Jane by Patrick McDonnell the creator of the daily comic strip Mutts, is a book that completely melts my heart. Without giving to much away, this is a book I guarantee you will want for your personal collection. A tale to cherish for years to come, beautifully illustrated and poetically told, Me Jane is HANDS DOWN one of my favorite children’s books of all time.
Simple, silly, fun. Kevin Sherry‘s I’m the Biggest Thing in the Ocean is awesome.
Wave by Suzy Lee is a beautiful piece of art. This book has no words but it tells a great story of a small girl and her adventures in the big ocean waves. A gorgeous book!
Karma Wilson’s Hilda Must be Dancing is a feel great book that the whole family will enjoy. A very large hippo causes the earth to move when her love of dancing gets in the way of the peace and quiet of her animal friends. Think this is going to stop Hilda from dancing? Think again!
Other great books:
Eric Carle- most famous for A Very Hungry Caterpillar, has done it again with From Head to Toe. This book is good for younger kids learning to imitate animals and follow instructions. The book asks, “Can you do it?” Yes you can.
1001 Things to Spot in the Sea by Katie Daynes is great for older kids. This book will keep them busy for hours searching for the many wonderful things you can find in the sea!
