so you can get 2-day shipping for free or hit your local book store.
A Zeal of Zebras
by Woop Studios ($12.23). From a creative studio who worked on the Harry Potter movies, A Zeal of Zebras is an alphabet book that highlights the noun for a group of animals. I certainly learned a new work – or 26 – while reading this design-inspired animal book.
The Crown on Your Head
by Nancy Tillman ($8.49). Tillman is one of our favorite children’s author so we have high expectations for new books. The Crown on Your Head exceeded our expectations. It’s a visually attractive book, but the message is even more beautiful. The idea is that every child is born with a crown on her head, representing what makes her unique and special.
Razzle-Dazzle Ruby
by Masha D’yans ($12.23). Taking pop-up books to a new level, Razzle-Dazzle Ruby will delight and dazzle even discerning little readers. Read Shannon’s Razzle-Dazzle Ruby review for more details.
Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site
by Sherri Dunskey Rinker ($10.19). What fun for truck-loving kids! As night falls, we say goodnight to trucks, mixers and other working rigs on the construction site. This is a sweet book to read aloud with rhymes and rhythm, perfect for settling down to say good night.
The Artist Who Painted a Blue Horse
by Eric Carle ($10.79). New book by Eric Carle. Enough said.
Shop! All of these books are available in The Shopping Mama’s Books We Love Right Now store – along with more than 30 other recommendations. Shop now to receive in time for Christmas.
