I have been trying my very hardest not to buy any baby stuff until October 6th when we find out whether we will be having a girl or boy. A couple of weekends ago at Restore I just couldn't help myself and I broke down and spend $2.45 on a stack of vintage children's books.
I love old books. I think they have more quality stories and pictures that you don't find a lot of in newer books. Is it just me who feels that way? Some of my favorite memories with my mom and grandma are of them reading to me. I had a love of books- I was the girl in 6th grade getting in trouble because I was hiding Anne of Green Gables in my math book during class. I am hoping that little baby Sjuts will grow up with the same love.
To me a great book has to have a good story, flow, and amazing pictures to hold the attention of young developing minds. My favorites that I have collected so far are: 101 Dalmations {the chapter book, not the one written after the Disney movie but the one the Disney movie was written after} Madeline, and Sleeping Beauty.
Check out some of these illustrations...
