Happy New Year! Thanks for sharing your lists. These will be great for future reference when my boys are a little older! Hope you are feeling better!
WONDERFUL selection of books!!!
Books are a wonderful present. May I ask where you got the wooden Noah's ark animals?
I purchased the Enchantmints Mr. & Mrs. Noah + 10 Lucky Animals from Magic Cabin during a pre-Christmas sale. Bud loves them! However, he has pulled the little tail off one of the lions already… I'm thinking that the rest of the tails aren't going to last very long. I'm going to have to figure out how to reattach them.
I had purchased the Ark as well, but it is very poorly made (plus arrived broken) so I returned it before Christmas and had been looking into other options including this Ark from Maxim. I never did purchase a replacement before Christmas, but he really loves the book and wooden animals!
love these pics:) checking out your titles:) some boys ones I don't know and I;m just waiting for my girl to be an independent reader to buy the Berry Creek book.

Erin! I just purchased the Mini Masters Boxed Set to put in one of the little one's Easter Baskets after seeing the books in Cupcake's collection of Christmas books over at Charlotte's! We've been using Meet the Masters for Art this year and I thought these books would be a great addition for the little ones! 🙂 (My girls have really been enjoying the Katie books.)
I also pre-ordered a copy of the new Baby-Lit Board Book Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: A Camping Primer which sounds really cute too.
and meant to say the Snuggles story made me laugh and laugh. Reminds me of Christmas last when my son then 6 got tired of opening presents from my mum (she really goes wayyy overboard) he hopped up and said, "I'm sick of opening presents" and off he marched
Twinkle Toe's pile makes me smile. The Secret Garden and Mandy are some of my fav's that were read over and over when I was about her age.
Love seeing your lists of books!
I love your book list posts! I get so many ideas for my own crew from your lists. Thanks for sharing!
I absolutely LOVE that version of Peter Pan. It was a must own after I read a library copy. The illustrations are beautiful!! My favorite picture is the two page one of a glance inside Peter's hideout with all the lost boys, Wendy, and Peter.
