Friends' Favorite Books for Children

An earlier blog of a few weeks ago, One Really Terrific Idea and Evening, detailed a delightful time together with friends who shared their favorite childrens' books. 

For those of you with little ones in your life, here is the list.  Many, many thanks to Anne for taking time today to type it for all to enjoy!

Below are four recent additions to that collection.  Each is beautifully written and illustrated.  And well worth a look at your local book store or on Amazon. 

Forward to anyone with a child in his/her life.  It's a terrific resource/you'll recognize many, I'm certain.
