My triplets received the Melissa and Doug Magnetic Puzzle Books - both the ABCs book and the Animals book, as gifts for their second Christmas. As you’d expect with any Melissa and Doug toy, these books are well made and perfect for children to grow into.

My husband takes our triplets to the library every week. The kids love it, and we discover a lot of cool books that way. For example, we found the Good Night Our World book series from our local library.

We recently picked up a copy of Pattern Bugs by Trudy Harris, illustrated by Anne Canevari Green, from the library. The illustrations are colorful and lively. Each bug that’s introduced demonstrates a new or different pattern through the words of its rhyme, and each rhyme allows for a turn-of-the-page pause to give […]

We missed our storytime at the library yesterday, being that it was a holiday and all, so we had our own little storytime at home today (not an uncommon occurrence).
One of the books that the kids brought out was Count on Pablo from the Math Matters Series. I can’t say that I’m even sure […]

The theme for our library’s summer reading program this year is pirates, and so all of the books from this week’s storytime had some type of water or sea theme. My favorite of the bunch was The Water Hole by Graeme Base.
I’d never read one of Base’s books, and when I mentioned to […]
