The Little Big Book

It's spring, and that means babies. At least, it seems to be that way in my world. So what do you get a mom-to-be or a new adoptive mom? Try "The Little Big Book for Moms" published by Welcome Enterprises. If you can get your hands on this little gem, you'll find a full-color, 350-page resource on fairy tales, nursery rhymes, songs and poetry that will bring back memories from your own childhood. Plus, finger games like "Where is Thumbkin," recipes for things from peanut butter sandwiches to homemade play-doh, how to make a hat or sailboat out of a sheet of newspaper, and so much more. With so many of us living far away from grandma and great grandma, this is the book that will get us through those precious first years and instill in our children's memories the same songs and games we remember playing with our moms in those quiet minutes before bedtime or on rainy days. The book is the right size (about 5 inches square) to hold in your lap so baby can see and touch the illustrations and is hardbound, made to last and last. I plan on passing mine down someday.
