Here are a few picture book ideas

These are a few of my favorites, although not in any particular order- some are new and some have been around a while.

***I have included a link at the bottom of the page for these books. You can see the author and pictures etc. ***

Tops and Bottoms- great for 4-7 years old. Fabulous illustrations and a great message about working. Children love it. Perfect gift idea for a child. My kids loved it.

Falling for Rapunzel- great for young children 4-8 - especially if they have heard the story of Rapunzel before. Not a lot of words - rhyming and silly. They will want to read it over and over. Good for both girls and boys.

A Frog Thing- Again- simple words but with a fabulous message of "Go for your dreams" "don't let others discourage you from doing what you dream you can do". It is fun, inspiring and good for all ages.

Boys Are Best- Okay- Spence laughs right out loud every time he reads this book. funky pictures of 2 boys making fun of silly girls but in the end...who is laughing! I saw this book given to a new mother at a baby shower who just had a boy!

Nothing to Do- A story about a boy...with nothing to do.. no school, no soccer practice, no homework...and how some people might worry about that! A good read for busy families- a reminder that its okay every once in while to sit and do nothing. 6- 10 years old

Nonsense- A reminder to us all--that "only you can decide who you are" and not listen to people around you that may not think you can. Great for young children...or graduates.

The Read Aloud Book- has some great ideas and descriptions of books. I loved this reference book when my children were young and we were traveling we would get a book or a book on tape and listen to them on the way to and from the cabin.

Wishes For You is a must have for every new baby or every child for that matter. I give this as shower gifts. It is such a fabulous welcome to a new little one and their parents. "I hope you will never forget how to be silly." "I hope you and I will have adventures together-" "I hope you will have the strength and spirit to deal with sad things when they come your way." Really- check this one out. It is a must have.
