I recently came upon this awesome idea for a link-up-- Library Haul! We LOVE books around here and are always looking for suggestions and love sharing our favorites, so I was only to happy to throw a quick post up here about our library haul for this week. Here are our 5 favorites from this week's trip to the library.
1. Mommy's Little Sunflowers by Angela McAllister
This book is the sweetest little story and the illustrations are just precious. My 4 year old especially loves this book and has picked it for her bedtime story at least 3 out of the last 5 days.
2. Penguin's Christmas Wish by Salina Yoon
(and Penguin and Pumpkin + Penguin and Pinecone)
My mother in law got the two Penguin books on the bottom for us to take back on our roadtrip from Cincinnati to home and the girls LOVE them. So even though it isn't Christmastime yet, we saw Penguin's Christmas Wish in the "new titles" section at our library and couldn't resist checking it out. Just as the others are, it's totally adorable.
3. The Bear and the Piano by David Litchfield
(Another book from the "new titles" section at our library).
A delightful story about "making it big" and not forgetting one's roots. It's a sweet little story and it makes me want to turn on some classical tunes on piano while I read it to the kids.
4. The Seasons of Arnold's Apple Tree by Gail Gibbons
This author has been recommended to me by my mother in law several times and for good reason. Her stories teach and entertain.
This particular title is a wonderful one to read when learning about the seasons. And since it's all about an apple tree, I feel like it's a perfect book to read in the fall when all the apples are ripe and ready to be made into warm apple pies.
5. Grizzly Bears by Gail Gibbons
Another amazing book with engaging illustrations and wonderful information by Gail Gibbons.
I love that there are plenty of pictures to go along with the great factual information presented in this book. The girls enjoy reading and learning when a book is as engaging as this.
Head over to the link-up with a Gentle Mother to get some more great book ideas and/or link-up with your favorite library books from the week. Or just share what you've been reading with your little ones in the comments here! I'd love to hear about all things reading.
I can't believe the diversity of books written by Gail Gibbons! We went to Yellowstone this summer, so I'm excited to bring her book on grizzlies home.
ReplyDeleteAdding to our holds list right now. :)
We're hoping for a Yellowstone trip this summer. I'll have to remember this one on Grizzlies to read to the kids. I've got them pretty well trained on snakes from our trips to Texas, but bears are a different ball game. Namely convincing the 2 year old that not every that looks cute and cuddly is safe for cuddling.
ReplyDeleteI always look at our "new title" book section too. That bear book looks so sweet. I'll have to see if our library has it. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! We totally got The Bear and the Piano this week, too! Another favorite that we got last week was The Book With No Pictures by B.J. Novak. Oscar thinks it's hilarious. Thanks for the book recommendations!
ReplyDeleteThese are some great picks! We especially love Gail Gibbons over here! And my Grace would love those penguin books.
