B is for Board Books

I can't get enough of these lovely things. Here's a post or two that highlights some of my favorites:

Entertaining Travel Reads Highlights books we bring with us when we travel. The tiny person is so entertained by books.

Childhood Books Books from my childhood that I still own and read practically nightly.

Christmas Sparkles A post about Lila's favorite board book...um, it isn't really about Christmas at all, but it does highlight her obsession with The Nightmare Before Christmas.

And, here are my new favorites!

“Baby Lit was created in one of those ‘lightning strikes’ moments,” says Gibbs Smith creative director and series editor Suzanne Taylor. “We knew there was nothing like it available for the age group, and that the books would be a great introduction to perennial classics both for very small children and parents who might never have read the classics before.”

And, you can pre-order Dracula!

Ok, so my kiddo is really into sparkly things ("What 14 month old girl isn't?", I'm told. I'll just have to take everyones word for it). She is also a voracious reader...ok, ok, I know she doesn't really read, but she does point to words and babble and then looks over or up at me to make sure that I'm paying attention. She'll read a page, I'll read the whole book, she goes back to the pages that she likes, and, the pages that she goes back to always have sparkles and bright colors. Yesterday, I finally got out all the board books for the holidays and we started reading those...there's one about an angel, one about the baby Jesus that plays "Silent Night" and one about a special star...the one that she's most drawn to, however, is one that got into the pile on accident...it's called Happy Sparkling Halloween, and she can't get enough of it!!!

Happy Holidays Everyone!!!
