(Canada)"},"content":{"rendered":"

If you’ve read any of my previous posts, you likely know that my oldest son loves books. \u00a0In fact, it’s his favourite gift to receive. Well… perhaps not as much as hockey-themed gifts, but it’s up there. \u00a0It’s also the one thing that he will use over and over again unlike most of his other material possessions.<\/p>\n

More exciting, is that within the last few months, my youngest son has also started to show a love for books. \u00a0He’s often wandering around our house carrying a book in hand, looking for anyone to read to him. \u00a0It’s pretty cute but even more so, it makes me so proud. \u00a0I may not win Mom of the Year, but this is a great parenting win!<\/p>\n

I was so excited to receive a box full of board books for my son for review. Each book was beautifully illustrated, bright and perfect for my curious boys. These interactive board books are appropriate for ages 0-4.<\/p>\n

Peek-A-Zoo<\/h1>\n

\"peek<\/a>My youngest son is slightly obsessed with animals so any book that has animals in it,is a win-win! While he typically just enjoys listening to me make the animals sounds, he actually listens to me read this book from start to finish. In fact, one of his favourite books is from this series; Peek-A Who? The Peek-A-Zoo\u00a0book features cut-outs that gives clues, and invites readers to guess what’s coming next. As indicated by the title, all of the mysteries involve animals you might find at the zoo.<\/p>\n

Daddy Wrong Legs<\/h1>\n

This is a fun flip book where your toddler can try to match the bottom half of the body with the top half. Its also funny when they mismatch. \u00a0Each page only has a few words on it, which allows you to read as quickly as your little one flips the pages. The\u00a0illustrations are eye-catching and bright and my son enjoyed flipping through the hard pages.\"daddy<\/a><\/p>\n

A Tree for all Seasons<\/h1>\n

\"A<\/a>This book, while short (only 3 pages long), is beautiful, bright and shaped like a tree. As the title states, it’s a story about the four season that highlights how tress might look in winter versus summer and what might be found on the tree throughout the seasons. I would highly recommend this book as a newborn gift. It’s a perfect addition to anyone’s children’s book collection.<\/p>\n

You Are My Baby Ocean,\u00a0You Are My Baby Garden &\u00a0You Are My Baby Farm<\/h1>\n

These series of books are just so sweet. \u00a0While I rarely get a chance to read the entire book to my toddler, I love the sweet and simple writing that allows the reader to guess which baby animal matches its parent. \u00a0Of course, my son just wants me to say the animal sound or to sing a song that goes along with the animal (i.e. Old McDonald Had a Farm or The Itsy Bitsy Spider). \u00a0\"You<\/a>Each book is comprised of two parts; the bigger top part is the animal parent and the bottom smaller part is the baby. \u00a0The young reader can turn\u00a0the pages to match the baby animals to their parents. \u00a0Flipping the smaller pages happens to be my son’s favourite part. This is a really cute series with beautiful illustrations. Other books in this series include Pet, Woodland and Safari.<\/p>\n

This books are available in Canada at\u00a0Kidsbooks.ca, Indigo.ca and Amazon.ca.<\/p>\n
