Purpose of this Blog...

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!

It's Grandson Tested and Approved: My Current Favorite "12 Days of Christmas Book" (For Toddlers and Up)

I'm pretty sure there is not a child on the planet that won't be completely taken with this Twelve Days of Christmas book - mainly because of the flickering "Ani-Motion" technology (also called "scanimation") used for the cute illustrations.

Watch as the three french hens peck the ground and the drummers drum - the story literally springs to life as you turn the pages!

And that's good news for a parent looking for a way lure their child onto their lap for a fun moment in the midst of all the after-Christmas-commotion-and-gift-opening-hubbub!

My 3-year-old grandson absolutely loves this book and already has the song memorized.  He sings right along with him mommy!
