First of all -- I'm feeling better -- YEAH!!! Hopefully I'll be tip-top for Thanksgiving dinner at my Mom's next week. After losing 5 lbs in the last week & a half, I'm really looking forward to her sweet potatoes and stuffing -- yum!
I also wanted to let you know that I'm going to be posting a couple of reviews over at Two Friends Collect Books in the next few days.
And finally I'm going to tell you what I bought Maddie, Landon and Savana for the holidays.
For Maddie, who is a 5 year old, I bought this super cool pop-up book:
For Landon, who is a 5 1/2 year old boy, I bought this super cool pop-up book:
And for Savana, my cute little niece who is only 6 months old I bought a Sandra Boynton book. Maddie, Pete & I love her books!
What else is a book lover such as myself going to get all the little ones in the family :)
I'm going to try to think up cool gift ideas for all ages and post them here throughout the holiday season!
Oh yeah! The princess hat and Baby Booga Bag are dry! They just need a little shave and they'll be ready for a photo session. More on that this weekend hopefully!
One of my favorite children's books? "Round Trip" by Ann Jonas. You read the story, with its black and white illustrations of a trip into the city, and then at the end, flip the book over and go back in the opposite direction--the pictures work in both ways, and it's amazing. Love that book.

We love Sandra Boynton books at my house, too. Billy "oohs" along with me when I sing/read Snuggle Puppy.

I love Robert Sabuda's books. I own most of them and this one will be mine soon. No one does pop up like he does.

Books, books, BOOKS! I LOVE BOOKS!!!
Such a nice gift.
Tom and I love Boynton! I bought a stuffed Edgar Allen Hippo...oh my...about 22 years ago! I used to sleep w/him, then DH slept w/him and now he sits in a place of honor on the headboard. Yup. 2 full-grown adults, we are!
SO glad you're feeling better. Holidays are awful when you're under the weather. Tell your throat that the foods about to start a-coming!
Can't wait to see the Baby Booga!
