Top Ten Tuesday: Books That Make Me Smile

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday!  This week’s topic is Books That Make Me Smile.  Books make me smile for so many reasons, but my first thought when I started to put together my post this week was of children’s books.  I didn’t start reading children’s books again until after I had kids, and I forgot how much fun they can be!  I might have to keep reading them even after my children have outgrown them.  Here are some of the books I’ve had the pleasure of reading with my kids!

A Visitor for Bear by Bonny Becker-I could include all the Bear and Mouse books on my list.  I love them all!

  14. I agree! My kids are too old for picture books now, but it was fun reading them to my crew every night. Some drove me absolutely nuts (over and over and over) – some, though, were a pleasure to read no matter how many times I did it. THE GRINCH is definitely one of those.

    Happy TTT!

      My kids are starting to out grow the picture books now. It is bittersweet because I’m excited about the new books they’ll be able to read, but also sad because they are growing up so fast!
