I am always on the lookout for good books. These are two books that the girls and I have recently discovered. They are new favorites! The first one is part of the Toot and Puddle (two darling pigs) series by Holly Hobbie. Yes, it is the same Holly Hobbie from our youth! The One and Only is about Puddles (another sweet little pig) and how she manages to handle a "copycat" admirer. Very sweet.
The next book comes from the Barefoot Books company. Barefoot Books have never disappointed me. The stories are entertaining and engaging and the pictures are beautiful. I want to buy each and every one! The Sounds Around Town by Maria Carluccio follows a mother and her child as they stroll through the neighborhood. Sounds boring? Just wait until your children (even a 10 year old that I know) start reading all the sounds and anxiously await the next page. Katie read us this story and we all had a great time!:D
I would love to hear some of your favorites! For adults and children! Birthdays and Christmas are just around the corner...:D

I love childrens books. My girls when they were younger had so many.I go to Barnes and Noble and I just browse childrens books too. They are so sweet.I know my girls had holly hobbie dolls,never knew they made books by that name.~Becky
Oh we love "Toot and Puddle"! I will have to check that one out :)
A fun set of book that we love to read is "Skippyjon Jones". He is one of my favorites to give as gifts too.
I tend to buy books for gifts for friends as well as for all the nieces and nephews, along with a new Christmas ornament. That's what they get every year from us.
