We love the Little Blue Truck series. They have all been great additions to my daughter's growing library so far.

I think "Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?" is slightly more fun to read than it's predecessor, "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" Both are classics though!

This book is so weird that it's good. An absolute board book staple for your little one's library.

Honestly, I relate to grumpy monkey. It's okay to be grumpy sometimes, and you don't need everyone pointing it out 😅

This book has become a quick favorite for the winter season. The illustrations are so cute and colorful, and the story highlights the good things about winter that some of us seem to forget.

Books that officially mark the start of the season. These are the stories we plan to read year after year as part of our Christmas traditions.
Obviously, "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" has become a Christmas movie tradition in most homes, but this full color edition of the classic tale is such a joy to read. It has me excited to add more Dr. Suess to our collection.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Full Color Edition (Classic Seuss)
I won't lie, this movie has never been a favorite of mine, but I ordered the book for Christmas because the story is such a classic, and it was nice to be reminded that the story in the book is much more enjoyable than the movie depiction.
