This book celebrates an idyllic childhood summer. The acrylic illustrations are bright and joyful, and capture those landscapes that hold our best memories of playing in sprinklers, swimming at the lake, family camping trips and sidewalk lemonade stands. A beautifully written and illustrated book to take outside and read with your kids this summer!

Are your kids Veggie Tales fans? Although I confess I love the classic Veggie Tales more than the new Netflix style, 🐻 just loves all things Bob and Larry. I think we will settle in for a Veggie Tales Christmas movie tonight and then enjoy this cute board book before bed. It celebrates all the fun of the season but reminds us that the best gift isn't really one we find under the tree. Thanks @worthypub for sharing this with us!

With all the commotion in the stable, and one surprise visitor after another, how will Mary get baby Jesus to sleep? We've been enjoying this sweet little board book for a couple weeks, but tomorrow it's finally DECEMBER! A full review is on our blog. I can't wait to share some of our other Christmas favorites this month as #bearandmousereadchristmas http://wp.me/p7SL9G-3J

Sister and Brother Bear learn we show love with our actions in the latest board book from the beloved Berenstain Bears series. Simple enough for the smallest readers, but still enough there to engage older preschoolers. We loved coming up with our own ways to love one another. A full review is on our blog! I received this book from Worthy Publishing in exchange for my honest review. #loveoneanother #berenstainbears http://ow.ly/ZIdQ306BAVt

Tonight was the first night of #Advent 🎄Books are so essential to our family Christmas traditions! I love this little Countdown to Christmas book. It has a preschool size devotion and some fun ideas for crafts and activities for every day of Advent. This year we are pairing it with these adorably illustrated table cards from SheReadsTruth. #childrensbook #kidslit
