Recently I was asked to review the new series from Free Spirit Publishing, Toddler Tools. Since I have a bonafide crazy, terrible-twos-toddler myself, I was happy to have the opportunity! I am also happy to say that both Sophie and I are really enjoying the books. Author Elizabeth Verdick and illustrator Marieka Heinlen offer a fresh, fun look at the transition times and tasks toddlers and parents deal with daily. The illustrations are also infused with prints of Amy Butler fabrics, and are very engaging and fun to look at! Sophie loves to carry these books around with her and look at them herself when I’m not reading them to her. The pictures really hold her attention, and the words encourage her that there are good reasons for our routines! I highly recommend these books for your home library if you have a little one. Check them out at Free Spirit’s website, and look for them as part of a giveaway on Mommin’ It Up soon!
To see what things others love, go see Jill at the Diaper Diaries!
looks like a great gift idea!
I could use these for my 4-year old! Maybe he would listen to what the book was telling him since he doesn’t like to listen to me. =)
THese look super cute. I will wait patiently for the giveaway…
