Spring {Book} Wish List

Remember those days when you could sit for hours reading your favorite books? Yeah, those days are long gone! I have to make a point every week to catch up on the stack of magazines I have piled up next to my bed, finishing a book these days takes me for ever so I have decided to make time for myself every night and enjoy a good book. I have complied a wish list of books I would like to read this spring, for both Jack and myself. There's a little bit of everything, fashion, healthy living, parent humor, food alphabet's, bilingual books and drumming monkeys. 

Enjoy and please let me know what books you and your little ones are hoping to read this spring/summer.

FOR ME
How Do You Tuck In A Superhero?

Her subject matter can be found climbing through the window, hanging on to the edge of the roof, and always at the refrigerator. Here she chronicles the exuberant, awesome life of boys through conversations overheard, rules she's been forced to make, and the many episodes of boy behavior that continue to mystify mothers worldwide.

Man Repeller 

Shearling boots. Draped ponchos. Shoulder pads. Turbans. Jumpsuits. These items are all glamorous, fashionable, and desirable-- to women. But do they literally send men running in the opposite direction? Maybe, but Leandra Medine doesn't care.

FOR JACK
Eating The Alphabet

This appetizing alphabet book shows fruits and vegetables so juicy and alive, you'll wish they could jump off the page and into your mouth. Even vegetable haters will find it hard to resist the vibrantly colored collage illustrations, which make each item look fascinating and appealing. Long a favorite picture book, this title is now available in a smaller board book edition.

Curious George And The Firefighter/ Jorge El Curioso Y Los Bomberos

After creating a mess at the local fire station while taking a tour, George is swept along with the firefighters to the scene of a fire. The new English/Spanish edition includes highly readable text and bilingual bonus activities.

Be Quiet Mike 

Even before he was born, Mike started drumming. Kick! Thump! Pow! Wherever he goes, his rhythms sing and "BE QUIET, MIKE!" yells everyone around him. But one day Mike sees a drum set in a store window-- and puts his hands-on talents to work in a most impressive way. With the bold graphic style and clever details, Be Quiet Mike strikes a cymbal for active, high-energy little monkeys everywhere.

My Friends/ Mis Amigos

In this bilingual edition, a free-spirited girl hops, jumps and kicks her way across the countryside, paying homage to her friends along the way. The activities depicted are alternately lively and quiet, but the prevailing mood is one of continuous celebration.
