Fun With Board Books

Howdy! Before I begin, last year I found some terrific charities that focus on donating books to libraries and children. Do you have any favorites to recommend? Would love to update my list, and also find new places to donate during the holiday season!

I've been doing some book shopping of my own for my tiny nieces, Joey and Justine, also known as Noodle and Bean. Noodle is two now, and has graduated from eating books to making you read them to her again and again.

Bean still eats them, much like The Incredible Book Eating Boy.

It's been so fun to flip through the board book section in the kids department. If you're in the market for new baby reads, here are my favorite recent discoveries:

Isn't this artwork modern and gorgeous? Alice is just one title from the BabyLit series - a series that also include funky illustrated classics like 'Pride And Prejudice' and 'Jane Eyre.' So neat to see in picture book form!

Meeow is my new favorite cat. This is the type of illustration I especially adore, and the stories are super cute! Yay Meeow!

LOVE LOVE LOVE! 'My Friends' by Taro Gomi. Read it!! The story is sweet, and great for rereading.

And never fear -- since Noodle and Bean can neither work a computer or read on their own, this post is spoiler-free :)
