valentine's day books

for valentines day i always pick out new books for each girl and write love letters on the inside cover.  there was always the intention that ben would participate but it never quite happened.

this year, it was his turn.  he set off to the book store and i bit my tongue so i would have no control over what he would choose.   he poured over all the options and thought carefully about each girl.

his choices were so fabulous i had to share.  

kinsley was the toughest because she is reading chapter books but would also probably still love a picture book.   he choose this about a little girl wanting some independence.  (and i love all the teachable concepts about government).  


this one was perfect for hallie.  it is a funny book and while i would never never never have picked it out i am glad it is part of our collection.  the girls love it.


and, he discovered my new favorite books for caroline.  i had never heard of this so i am thrilled he found it.   it is imaginative, playful and interactive.  i highly recommend it for toddlers (but the older girls like it too).
