The Bundle Book

 Such a cozy story!  Something all mothers of littles have experienced- a "mysterious" bundle under the bed blankets.  What could it be?  The back and forth between mother and her "bundle" is sweet and true to life.  This game has been played in my house for many years and always ends the same way, with snuggles and kisses.

Is This You?

Ruth Krauss and Crockett Johnson 1973

What do you look like?  How do you travel or take a bath or live?  This book asks these questions and offers some silly answers.  And then it instructs you to make your very own book about yourself.  

The Happy Day

The first day of Spring and it's cold here and there's talk of snow.  But at least my tenacious crocuses and daffodils are undeterred.

In this book by Ruth Krauss, even the animals are happy to see a sign of spring!  They wake up from their sleep and "sniff and run" to the one bright spot of color in the black and grey illustrations.
