i thought this book was really great,simple but really educating about beekeepers.JUlia liked seeing the bees on the picture, but of course she thought there should have been more baby bees in the book!

Another Fancy Nancy book,Katarina really loves Fancy Nancy,she likes to try and dress fancy too.Accessories the more the better!

This Fancy Nancy book was really cute.It is about Nancy thinking she only wants one of those teeny dogs because you can dress them, and to her that

seems fancier. But is upset when she dogsits one and it doesnt fit her family like she planned. But it has a good happy ending.

A baby duck book picked out by Julia,It is about a mama duck worring about her baby duckling swimming off all on his own. And all the dangers that are out there.But how she has to learn to let go little by little by little.

Some of the many books we have been reading lately

this book has a really great message,treat others as you want to be treated!

we love the llama llama books!

Julia really liked this one,she loves anything that looks like a baby,and these look like baby bunnies,even cuter

Both girls loved this book,it is an active book: stretch you neck,kick your feet, clap your hands, poke your bellybutton
