For the love of books

Way before our son even entered the world he had bookshelves (yes plural) full of books.  I have always loved to read, and as an environmental educator I can't pass down a good children's book with a great environmental or social message.  Who doesn't love Eric Carle's "The Very Busy Spider" or Rhinehart's "Eliza and the Dragonfly"?  So when I saw this online deal with Slimy Bookworm, I of course got excited!  The Animal Boogie Gift Set looks like a great Christmas gift for my little man, especially at a total cost $15.99!  Plus, with any order over $25 you get free shipping.  Can't beat that!

Of course as a mom on a budget, I realize there are other great ways to keep my kiddo loving books the same way I do.  So for FREE we love heading to the library, or heading to toddler story-time at our local Barnes and Noble.  We also are privileged to be in an area that is affiliated with Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.   For Free we have books sent to our house thanks to this great program!

Every night we read to G, and we feel that this has made our bedtime routine very successful.  He really enjoys that time with us, and we feel the same way!  I love that he is starting to show interest in his favorites and that he loves to grab a book and come sit in our laps for us to read to him.  No doubt this will help his verbal skills and it is great bonding time!

Click here if you are interested in the online deal with Slimy Bookworm- $10 for $20 worth of books (remember free shipping on orders of $25 or more).  You can purchase one for you and one as a gift.
