Another stack of our favorite children’s books

Here is my second stack of books that we love!!

I’ve read some children’s Bibles and have been put-off by the oversimplified, borderline inaccurate retelling of the stories. This one, although extremely abbreviated, doesn’t misrepresent the original account. For example, those tough and maybe not age-appropriate stories are simply not included instead of distorting it. I’m thinking of those challenging ones to explain, like Cain and Abel, etc.

Apart from some redundancy and lack of sentence variety, I really like this Bible.

This book about garbage day carries a bunch of memories. I hosted a Facebook Usborne book party for a friend and ended up with some cash to choose some for my oldest. He was the only one I had at the time. Boy was it hard to choose just so many so I wouldn’t have to pay out too much out of pocket. Of the stack, I’m still glad I chose this one.

It was about 2020 when all this had gone down and I was home with my little man and I believe expecting my daughter at the time. And while living the dream at home we got to enjoy trash day every week. This book only added to the whole experience.

Here’s a throwback to those trash truck mornings. They were on Fridays in our neighborhood those days.

Christmas 2020 (I believe) I wrapped up 24 books with holiday paper and each night of the month opened a new book with my oldest. Naturally (and intentionally) we ended up with The Night Before Christmas on the 24th. My son and I enjoyed this so much but it took a lot of paper and books to do this so I haven’t done it again. Yet.

Chin Up Chinchilla is so precious! My BIL and SIL brought it for Caeden and even had it signed by the author and illustrator. It’s a really sweet story that teaches young ones about empathy. Definitely a keeper.

Hop Hooray Hippo is another by the same creatives. It’s so sweet! It reminds me of the verse that says to rejoice when others rejoice.

I teared up when I received this book on behalf of my kiddos. The kids’ uncle had picked it up when Ken Ham was in town, knowing that Caeden especially would enjoy it since he’d been learning a ton about animals. He has been loving this one for sure. (As have I!) The pictures are stunning and I love knowing that the facts included there are accurate and believable. We all have enjoyed this book.

Okay, this is a super fun one! A bookstore/cafe downtown has a kids’ hour on Saturday mornings. I know right? So cool. During this time an author (or an employee) will read some stories to the kids and there are snacks, coloring sheets, and toys to play with. All three of my kids have gotten to enjoy this but we don’t do it very often… I prefer Saturday mornings to be slow and at home rather than rushing and stressing to get everyone up and out on time. But that’s just me in this season. Not to mention the downtown holiday 5k’s shifting the traffic pattern. And construction haha.

Ah, Blippi. Greyson got this amazing Blippi book this past Christmas and for the past two months or so has requested bedtime stories to start with this one. His favorite stories are the last three, the one about a park, then the bakery, and finally going night-night. I love it. It’s so cute how specific he is. I love those 5-minute collections like this! (We have a Peter Rabbit and a Charlie Brown one of this kind).

Greyson was given this book for his second birthday and I’ve read it through at least twice since. It’s so precious! And classic.

Look how beatiful it looks without the dust jacket!

A sweet family gave this book to my kiddos. (Their other favorite book options includes The Seven Silly Eaters). I read this book as a child myself and LOVE the illustrations. It’s such a cute story!

Well, this is our second stack! What will you be adding to yours??

Thanks for reading along!
