Hey! Just checking in to let everyone know all is well! Just haven‘t been doing any reading at all - my minimal brain power and energy has been put towards nesting and getting ready for baby Benjamin.💙

Time is such a crazy thing. I‘ve been pregnant for three seasons, but yet it feels like no time at all, and also not soon enough until we meet him.😊

I‘ve been working on building up his little library, with my favourite book being Pig the Pug.🐶

iamcourtneyb Super excited for you! My little one will be 5 weeks tomorrow 🥹. I‘d love to hear some recs for the baby library! I have a few but def need more. 2mo
Clwojick @iamcourtneyb Most of my go-tot‘s were childhood favourites like Robert Munsch, Little Critters, Clifford, Berenstain Bears,Franklin, Arthur etc. But some newer gems I‘ve found include the Pig the Pug series, Pug and Chick, anything by Sandra Boynton, and then anything Holiday themed! (Christopher Pumpkin is a Halloween gem!) I LOVE the “How Do Dinosaurs…” series, but I haven‘t purchased any yet. ☺️ 2mo

I also read so many #picturebooks with my daughter.

Our favourite was The Selfish Giant.

Just a tiny bit dark in tone, something the adults can appreciate in picture books. Not quite 'original Grimm's fairy tales' type ending, but certainly leans toward delivering a dire fate to the wrong doer as a moral lesson to readers.
Whether depicting the greedy character as fat is the wrong kind of messaging to send to kids today, feels sadly like a question that was just emerging into the mainstream when this book was first published.

The illustrations remind me of stain glass windows, with abstract pieces put together.

This a great fable for young children. Using an animal is very popular in fables which is what this story does. It teaches an important lesson as well.
