Spring Board Books and BIG GIVEAWAY

Don't miss the BIG giveaway at the end of this post. Whether you have children, grandchildren, or give them as baby shower gifts, you don't want to miss the great books that one of you will win!

We have been enjoying more books, courtesy of Tiger Tales. I already shared with you the learning books that are great for promoting language (and a set of those will be given to one of you), but today I want to tell you about a few of their spring board books that we have been enjoying.

Little Sister (18 months old) repeatedly asks for That's My Mommy! by Ann Hodgman. Different animals are portrayed throughout this book showing and telling the special ways moms show love to their children. I think my favorite is "My mommy wakes up when I do." The illustration shows the little bunny bouncing on the bed while the mom looks on with a smile. (Maybe soon a certain someone will sleep through the night, every night!) This would be a great gift for a mom...and That's My Daddy! would make a great Father's Day gift, too!

My 4 1/2 year old son's favorite is It's Spring Time! Written by Elizabeth Bennett, it's a cute padded board book that celebrates all of the changes that take place during the spring like cleaning, growing, nesting, and playing. This sturdy book has the special enhancement of bits of glitter (that remain on the page, not on the finger) to highlight butterflies, flowers, and raindrops throughout the pages. Little fingers go right toward them!

Another neat concept is with the book Peek-a-boo. Magnetic arms help the reader to play peek-a-boo on the front cover of the book. Within the book, animals are having fun hiding from the reader while the reader guesses what animal is hiding. Hug! also has the magnetic arms and explores animal "hugs." (I will note that my 1 1/2 year old did bend one of the hands on Peek-a-boo when she was looking at it on her own. It still sticks, but I thought I would mention it. Like flap books, this may be one to supervise your child with until they are older.)
