Puppy Too Small (Golden Naptime Tales)

SarahKate's Notes:

Our (then) 2 year old loved to hear book over and over, and I loved to read it. It starts out, " 'I'm too small!' wailed Puppy. 'I can't reach the doorknob.' 'But you can reach the cookies on the table,' said Mouse. 'Please share one with me.' And Puppy did." The whole book is like that, one situation after another where puppy feels he is too small to do something, but there is something helpful he can do, and he does it. The ending is a sweet acknowledgment by Mama. This is a gentle message of empowerment.

The Itsy Bitsy Spider (Board Book)

SarahKate's Notes:

The song you know plus 5 more verses of how the itsy bitsy spider keeps going through obstacles. The last verse is sweet completion: "The itsy bitsy spider climbed up without a stop. / She spun a silky web right at the very top. / She wove and she spun and when her work was done, / The itsy bitsy spider rested in the sun."

A great big hug in book form, Snuggle Puppy is a year-round valentine from parent to child. It is bright, chunky, a pleasure to hold, and has a die-cut cover that reveals a glimpse of the joy inside before it's even opened. Best of all, it's packed, of course, with pure Boynton: her inimitable language, her inimitable illustrations, her inimitable sense of fun.
