Top Library Picks for the week

The kids' most recent favorite library picks:
The Pigeon finds a hot dog (Mo Willems)
Max's ABC (Rosemary Wells...it has ants in it, yuk)
Snip Snap What's that (Mara Bergman)
Bertie was a Watchdog (Rick Walton)

I used to put a Bailey book award of the week in the emails (ok, so I only did it a few times), but I meant to, I just forgot. Jacob even enjoyed the Pigeon one...it's cute for older kids who know how to read so you don't have to tell them which character is saying what (it has speech bubbles). Bertie was a Watchdog keeps you guessing until almost the end as to where the book is going. Cute. Check 'em out. Read.

Note - for convenience of Grandparents who always want ideas, I have added a birthday and wishlist at the bottom of this page for the older 2 kids. I can't think of everything they've mentioned lately, but I put as much as I could think of, and I'll add to it (except for things I don't want them to have that they ask for...like Seth wants a turtle named leafer...yes, a real one).

Yeah, I hope that's not 'tacky', but you want to know...now you can just check it anytime. It's easier than having to think of things on the spot when you call and ask. Anything over 20 something I'm not posting though - too expensive, Santa can bring that! For example, Seth wants a bike (not a tricycle), so I'm planning on that for Christmas for him.
(I'll update the sizes so that's always current. And when I'm informed of a purchase, I'll take it off the wishlist.) ...Of course, things that get used up are best (food, stickers, balloons, art supplies, etc) and things part of an existing collection (trains, movies) are second best, because I don't have to make room for them! Is this tacky?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Grandparents want to but for kids but I know that as a parent who is always stretching the budget that I don't want to buy something they don't want or won't use and it's always fun to give something that makes them happy...but maybe you could up the ante a little and include a few things in the $20 -$30 range just in case it's on SALE and then grandmas could send a "big ticket" item and still stay on budget. (does that make sense?). Unless of course you have grandparents that think a list is "choose all" instead of an "idea" list!!!
