picture books to love.

“children are made readers on
the laps of their parents.”
- emilie buchwald

since i started this project, i've been obsessing over children's books. i'm on amazon almost daily {mostly looking, sometimes buying} finding old favorites and new ones to love. these are a few:

a tree is nice, janice way udry
Photobucket
Photobucket
sylvester and the magic pebble, william steig
Photobucket
cinderella, marcia brown
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
knuffle bunny, mo willems
Photobucket
Photobucket

i had entirely forgotten about a tree is nice and sylvester. marcia brown's cinderella was my all-time favorite book as a kid because i loved the magical illustrations {minus the sissy prince}. knuffle bunny is a new favorite at our house. serena asks for it all the time.

isn't reading to kids the best thing ever? serena would be totally content with nothing but books to entertain her. and so would i.

love this. i love all those books. i wish books werent so dang expensive! i honestly think Mya could read from sun up till sun down. i started putting books in her room so when she wakes up in the morning and gets out of her bed, she has something to do!

i have all of my favorite childhood books that the kids read but i want some really pretty ones like this. mine are old.
