Spring Book Ideas...
x
Just some ideas on books to welcome spring, if it ever gets up the guts to kick winter out the overdue door. Ahem, I digress.
x
Leo the Late Bloomer - one of my absolute favorites from childhood, helping children to appreciate that everything (and everyone) has their season to bloom.
x
Play with Me - originally published in 1955, this classic story of a little girl who has gone to the meadow to play in a beautiful hand-sketched world.
x
Guess How Much I Love You - an absolute classic, the illustration on the cover alone melts my heart. And of course the whole rabbit theme is popular around this time of year.
x
Carrot Seed - Ruth Krause, who also wrote A Hole is to Dig (which I LOVE), has created this beautifully simple story about a little boy waiting for his garden to grow.
x
Each Peach Pear Plum - A play on the classic fairy tales, with adorable rhymes and pictures that have secret characters worth searching for (so fun and cute and did I say fun?)
x
Little Bunny Foo Foo - The girls insisted this must be included - they love the story and the fact Mommy sings it with a crazy voice.
x
The Little Rabbit - A simple story of a little girl and her new rabbit, with great photographs of springtime and of course little white rabbits.
x
The Country Bunny and the Little Golden Shoes - The story of a momma bunny who is all worn out with her eleven-plus kiddos. She is shocked when she gets the opportunity to become an official Easter Bunny.
x
The Velveteen Rabbit - The Margery Williams classic is such a beautiful story of childlike love, especially for two little girls who just gave up their comfort objects.
