\"children-books\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Reading with Ellie is one of my favorite things, but I am the first to admit some children’s books can be a little obnoxious. Difficult rhymes and lackluster illustrations become pretty tedious after you’ve read a story a hundred times in one sitting.<\/p>\n

Over the last year and half, I’ve found some books we both love to read and a few on which we disagree. With great stories and intricate pictures, I’d recommend these books to anyone with a newborn or toddler. They also have Ellie’s seal of approval.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Napping House<\/strong><\/a> – This is an all time favorite of mine. Every time I read it, I notice something new in the illustrations.<\/li>\n
  2. Red Wagon<\/strong><\/a> – In this story, a little girl fox takes her wagon to the market on an errand for her mother. Her imagination runs wild on the trip making this one a real charmer.<\/li>\n
  3. You Are My I Love You<\/a> <\/strong>– I typically don’t go for sentimental stories, but this one gets me every single time. Ellie likes it too.<\/li>\n
  4. The Goodnight Train<\/strong><\/a> – We received this book as a gift, and I am a little embarrassed to admit how much I love making the train sounds as I read it. Choo! Choo!<\/li>\n
  5. Pr<\/strong>ide and Prejudice<\/strong><\/a> – Counting books can be a little boring to read over and over, but the illustrations here are clever. P&P fans will find the\u00a0marriage proposal page in particular to be entertaining.<\/li>\n
  6. Bunny & Bee Playtime<\/strong><\/a> – Bunny and Bee are two little kids dressed as the aforementioned animals\u00a0who live in a tree. I don’t think I need to say anymore.<\/li>\n
  7. Bella Loves Bunny<\/strong><\/a> – At our house, I read this one as\u00a0“Ellie loves Hoppy,” since E sleeps with a bunny every night. The pictures are old-fashioned and lovely.<\/li>\n
  8. Madeline<\/strong><\/a> (obviously) – Ellie has only recently come around to reading this one. The content was a little too long for her before, but now, she enjoys hearing the story. I have adored this book since I was a little girl and the love affair continues.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
