This was another favorite in our house when the boys were little. Babies LOVE to see other babies and even more, they love to see other babies doing the things they do like getting messy and taking a bath. This is a very simple book and sometimes those are the best kind…sweet and simple.
My boys loved this book when they were little…not only do you get to kiss your baby all the way from their cute little toes all the way up to their sleepy little head, but it also works on numbers from ten to one.
Ten little kisses on teeny tiny toes
Nine laughing kisses on busy wriggly feet
Eight squishy kisses on chubby, yummy, knees
So much fun…little ones love the interaction and all those kisses!
I remember the days when my boys were little…they would have LOVED this book. This is perfect for those kiddos who are learning where their eyes, nose, legs, tummies, etc. are. It also gets both parents and kids involved with the book and each other…very interactive and so much fun. This would make a great gift for new parents, too.
A very cute book with the same rhythm and cadence of the more popular night before Christmas story, but this time the ghosts and goblins are getting ready for Halloween, as are the children and their parents.
Mummies unraveled
and put on new wraps.
Spiders found corners
and spun silky traps.
Meanwhile the children
were tucked snug in their beds,
while visions of candy corn
danced in their heads.
Natasha Wing has several “night before” stories and they are all adorable. This one is no exception.
A cute book about fall and the many stages a tree goes through throughout the year. This book is geared towards preschoolers, but it is also great for early readers because it has repetition and illustrations that really support a beginning reader. It’s also short enough and the illustrations are bright and entertaining enough that a toddler would enjoy it as well.
We have read this book A LOT in our house over the years! It is a cute rhyming story that has your kids counting backwards from ten to one as the ten children in the story trick-or-treat through the neighborhood. One by one, a child leaves the story due to some Halloween mishap which leaves one trick-or-treater sleeping in her bed after a long night of gathering candy.
Duck and Goose decide they want a pumpkin after they see that a friend has one. They look in a log, in a leaf pile, up in a tree, in a pond and on top of a stump and they still can’t find one. That’s when their friend suggests they look in the pumpkin patch. A very cute first book about Halloween or fall.
A very simple cumulative tale with vivid illustrations that takes the reader through Halloween night with a mouse, a jack-o-lantern, a bat, an owl, a dog, a cat and a child dressed up as a ghost.
A cute and simple story that could lead to lots of interaction, movement and downright silliness. Legs are for marching, feet are for stomping, eyes are for peeking…but all of the illustrations are Halloween-themed like a stomping Frankenstein, a marching pirate and a peeking mummy. Perfect for those kiddos who are just beginning to understand what Halloween is all about.
This is a very cute book for the preschool and under set. It has Halloween-type riddles that your little one can try and answer and then lift the flap to see if they are right.
Example: I have eight legs. It tickles when I scurry up your arm. But beware of my webs. You might get caught! What am I?
Child guesses and lifts the flap: A spider
Other answers to some of the other riddles are: an owl, a skeleton, a jack-o-lantern, a trick-or-treat bag and a witch.
