Board Books (18)

Just sharing a few neat board books that I purchased for the library recently.

Animals are getting ready for bed in this cute alphabet book.

This adorable book is clever, filled with love, and has gorgeous illustrations. The moving pieces work for a library too.

Sweet story for summer time with great illustrations and a warm fuzzy feeling of love.

A funny story about an octopus looking for pants but none of the shops have pants that will fit him. Perfect for this year's summer reading theme.

Avery fun interactive baking book that's perfect to share.

Learning about body parts with a whole lot of love from your family. A very sweet story.

Board Books (16)

Just a few new super cute additions to the library

I love this series! There are fantastic cut-outs. This one is all about family and love. 

Elmo really wants to meet a unicorn - and his friend helps make that dream come true. Together they have the best day ever - lots of friendship and magic in this colorful book.

This sweet story has moveable parts (slides that would work for the library and a mirror in the back of the book). Another story about love with bright colors.

Halloween Board Books

Today I'm chatting about some delightful Halloween Board Books - some purchased for the library and some sent for review. 

Baby gets ready for Halloween in this super adorable picture book. I love the illustrations here. 

A cute book about what animals say at Halloween. Plus there's a mirror in the back for fun with readers. 

So much fun packed in to this book and so many new words to learn. I loved the showcasing of the Action Words and the Feeling Words. And the illustrations are really cute! I'm looking forward to getting more of these for the library's collection! 

A fun Halloween twist on a classic tale.

This book celebrates all the best parts of fall - including carving pumpkins. These illustrations are charming and adorable. I'm looking forward to the winter story!

Learn how to hide a ghost in this spooky fun story. The Lift the Flaps make this one harder for libraries to circulate. But the book is super fun and would make a great gift.

Trick or Treat around this neighborhood of monsters in the spooky adorable book. Again, these flaps are tricky for little fingers and libraries. Again perfect for a gift. I love how the houses are all unique and perfect for the monster inside. I wish there could be a Christmas version of this book because it would also be super cute.

Washer and Dryer's Big Job

This board book is part of a series that explains machines to little curious minds. The google eyes make this cover pop. And it has a super fun ending!

Here's my childhood stuffed bunny Secret (named for their big ears) hanging out with our Washer and Dryer and making sure everything in the book is how it actually works.

Board Books (15) Nature

We just bought a bunch of new board books for our library.

I've been talking about a few favorites. Today I'm talking about nature and animals

A funny story with lots of different animals showcased. I loved the sloth moments. Lots of movement and family moments.

So much to explore in this book. And lots of great information with great photographs. This one is perfect for next year's summer reading ocean theme!

These lift the flaps make it tough for a library book but this book is great. Lots of wildlife in different seasons to explore plus nighttime. 

Lots of information and vocabulary words in this alphabet book. I love the bright colors too. A great series of books!

Board Books: (14) Farms

We just bought a bunch of new board books for our library.

I'll be talking about a few favorites over the next couple weeks

Today I'm talking about farm and fall books:

Farm:

Lots of zooming around the area for this little orange truck. This is a thicker lift the flap book but also small in dimensions. So many animals to see in this charming book. 

This is a super cute book but maybe not the best for libraries with felt pieces and lift the flaps. I love how much there is to see and the bright colors. This would make a great gift.

This is a large touch and feel board book that talks about animals found on the farm. 

A very sweet story.

Another larger board book - with big lift the flaps. 

Lots of farm and animal knowledge in this one. 

Thicker flaps on this Disney book about saying good night to animals on the farm. Another sweet animal story.

Textures and lots of vocabulary this is touch and feel farm book. The questions are great and can spark up lots of conversation.

Lots of pictures - this one talks about farm chores. And it goes through the seasons. Love the illustrations and the flaps here.

Fall:

A great start to learning about apple (even I learned things.) 

Love the bright illustrations and the facts. 

A short but sweet celebration of fall and fall activities. This is a touch and feel book with various textures. Love the illustrations in this one. 

Board Books (13) Concepts

 

We just bought a bunch of new board books for our library.

I'll be talking about a few favorites over the next couple months

Today I'm talking about concept books:

Picking out differences and realizing that different is ok. Great Concept. Fun illustrations. Wonderful Message.

Bright colors are in this opposite book. Adorable illustrations - of course my favorite is the library one. Although libraries aren't quiet places anymore. 

Same illustrator as above - more bright illustrations for these colorful dogs who play in a world of colors. They have so much fun!

A must have for small Marvel fans - this is an alphabet book featuring so many Marvel characters.

Board Books (12): Love

  We just bought a bunch of new board books for our library.

I'll be talking about a few favorites over the next couple months

This week, it's all about love, family, and community

This is a sweet story with moments between mother and daughter. The illustrations are gorgeous. 

An excellent book about the meaning of community and how we're all better together. It's a great message to share with a young child and start them thinking about others and ways to help. Lots of bright colors, diversity, and inclusivity. 

Life is an adventure and doesn't always follow the path you thought you would take. This board book has a great message and fantastic illustrations. 

I always love Vashi Harrison's books - from the inspiring messages to the gorgeous illustrations. Just perfection.

When mother and daughter are apart, they miss each other. But Mama has some comforting words to share. Adorable! Both in the sweet message and the illustrations.

Spreading the message of kindness in all the various ways. Bright colors and few words get this huge message across in a delightful way. 

Gorgeous illustrations share the meaning of love and how love rules the world. While this is a long book, the short words make it a quick read. There's lots to see with the illustrations.

The sweetest thought from a mother to her baby - sleep well and be happy. The illustrations are gorgeous in the fantastic picture book. Great for a baby shower gift!
