Wee Reads: Bookstore Babies by Puck

Ever since Finn was born, and even before then, we would read to him. We wanted to show him reading from an early age. Now he loves us to read the same books, over, and over, and over. But it is the sweetest thing, when he likes to pick out a book and climb into our laps.

Here come the bookstore babies, ready to give you a tour of their favorite local shop. Spirited images pair with quirky text to introduce young readers to a group of smart, active, stylish, and just plain silly tots who love to explore their favorite bookstore. From storytime to playing with the bookstore cat, this entertaining board book is an essential introduction to all of the fun that can be found inside a bookstore.
And the fun doesn’t end there: Bookstore Babies includes oodles of amusing activities and educational reading tips to help parents enjoy the book with their children over and over again!

Do you like this book?

It's so cute!! It has babies and a kitty! I love babies and kitties!

What's your favorite part of the book?

When the babies are petting the kitty and when the momma was reading to the baby, like you read to me! I like when you read to me.

What do you think of the cover?

There's a kitty! I love kitties.




This book so super adorable! Every time we turned the page Finn was going "Awe it's so cute! Awe! Awe! Awe!" It was so cute. Of course this is a board book and is a bit under Finn's level. It didn't stop him from loving it. And he even brought it to me to read instead of me asking him to come read it.

The artwork is adorable, the colors are beautiful, and I love how there's a section at the end that shows how to make the book more interesting and interactive.

I can't wait until I have a baby I can read this to!

Wee Reads: Animal Babies by Charles Fuge

Ever since Finn was born, and even before then, we would read to him. We wanted to show him reading from an early age. Now he loves us to read the same books, over, and over, and over. But it is the sweetest thing, when he likes to pick out a book and climb into our laps. 



Animal BabiesAnimal Babies by Charles Fuge


  

With simple, rhyming text and lavish illustrations by Charles Fuge, this vibrant board book explores the lives of the cutest critters in the land: baby animals!
From baby bears who feel safest up a tree and baby penguins who nest on their daddy's feet to baby koalas who hitch a ride on their mama's back, each spread features unlikely pairs of baby animals playing and interacting. Ducks, chimps, elephants, rhinos, meerkats, whales, and even sea horses all make an appearance to bring delight children of all ages.

Do you like this book?
Yeah! I loved all the babies with their mommas.

What's your favorite part of the book?
I liked when the meerkats were playing with the snake! And when the sloth was hanging upside down, I like to hang upside down!

What do you think of the cover?
Yeah, because the duck was just hatching!

Do you want me to read it again?
Sometime.




Okay this book is adorable. It was super fun to read, and flowed well because it all rhymed. Animal Babies also teaches a little bit about the babies and has adorable artwork.
We received an ARC on my kindle for this book, and as adorable as it is, Finn is just a bit too old for it so we will not be buying it (Unless I have more babies myself!)
