ABC Dream

A peek into someones personal sketch book, that is what this one feels like. Beautiful, simple, yet detailed in black and white sketches. I love wordless books such as this one, giving your child a chance to describe what they see. This is not only engaging the creative mind but uses linguistics as well. While reading and imagining they are seeing the alphabet and working on phonetics. It’s just lovely. Due to it’s black and white nature, it’s baby friendly, a great starter book.

The Incredible Book Eating Boy

Everyone loves Oliver Jeffers, right? We do!

Eating books might make you smarter or it might give you a stomach ache, either way Henry will find out. I love that this encourages wanting to be smarter and reading, which are the best combination.

Just being Audrey

So many lessons you can use this book for. Audrey Hepburn left a legacy and this book captures it wonderfully. I can only imagine how intimidating the illustrator must have felt to capture someone so well loved. Julia Denos did just that, elegantly and wonderfully.

Beautiful and chalked full of truths and bad days and did I say beauty?

The Day The Crayons Quit

Brilliant on so many levels. This is one of the best read-aloud books I have read in a while.

 

I enjoy reading the colors in different voices, and I love seeing my children respond to it. Peach is one of my to read, although not my favorite color in real life. This book has humor, truths and allows your child to think creatively and out side the box. FUN!
