? SO CUTE! Also adore Le Chat Chapeaute
, Yoruga la Tortuga
, and Cat in the Hat Comes Back (Hebrew)
.
L’Arbre Genereux
Wo die Wilden Kerle Wohnen
Bonsoir Lune

Gift Books for Kids
Bread and Jam for Frances
: Scarlet loves this book, it’s a message about how nice it is to eat a variety of foods and enjoy every bite.
An Awesome Book of Thanks
: I’ve already told you how much I adore this book so I’ll leave it at that.
Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed
: I love Mo Willems so very much. If you don’t already have Don’t Let The Pigeon Drive the Bus,
get that one first. The pigeon begs to drive and your kid keeps telling him NO!
Joelle Jolivet Zoo-ology
: Scarlet knows what a vole and peccary are because there is nothing she loves more than pointing out all the strange animals in this book.
Where’s My Sweetie Pie?
: In this pocket? In this locket? No, in a mirror at the end! Scarlet yells “I YOUR SWEET PIE!”
Chicken and Cat
: My husband picked this book up and at first I was like, umm it has no words? How i am supposed to read this to her? But it’s such a charming story of moving to the big city and making it feel like home, it doesnt need any words. Scarlet “reads” it to me.
Caps for Sale
: A classic. I love books that are interactive, and Scarlet likes to clap her hands, stomp her feet, and say TZZT! TZZT! just like the monkeys who steal the peddler’s caps.
Welcome to my Neighborhood: A Barrio ABC
: This book is so charming and a nice break from the usual farm and fruit type ABC books: “N is for the noisy neighbors who sit on the stoop and catch the breeze.”
This is New York
: Or any of this “This is” books. We are pondering a move to the big apple, so New York is our favorite right now.
The Gangsta Rap Coloring Book
: This is my go-to gift for friends who like to laugh. It’s hilarious.
Rosie Flo’s Animals Coloring Book
: Jacinda gave us this, and it’s so pretty I haven’t even let Scarlet color in it yet, ha.
So, what did we miss? What should I pick up for my little bookworm this year?
