You may have noticed that not all books are equal in capturing children's imaginations and in cultivating those innocent, tender souls. My goal is to help you find the ones that do!

Decorating with Books
“Books are not made for furniture, but there is nothing else that so beautifully furnishes a house.” ― Henry Ward Beecher
Sharing some favorite pins today from my "Library and Reading Spaces" Pinterest Board...
I love the children's areas especially. I do wish though, that publishers could make picture books smaller. They seem to want to compete for attention with size and forget "Small books for small hands".
True! At least they make the board books small. I've often wondered if they do the bigger books for teachers, so that all the children can see the pictures?
I love decorating with books. We have an entire wall covered in books in our "piano/reading room". We also have books all over the entire house. Books are an integral part of our day to day life.
