Recently, I was sent samples of new board books for little ones that are not only fun to read with your child, but also help them develop language and motor skills, thanks to all the adorable illustrations and interactive elements. Even though my girls are a little old for these books, they did sit and read through them, to share their thoughts. I also brought them to a homeschool meetup where there are a lot of little ones and my girls had fun reading the three board books to their toddlers/preschoolers and their parents. I watched as the little ones inched closer to my girls to admire the colorful and playful illustrations, and have a turn at the interactive features of these cute board books from Abrams Children's Books. When my girls were done reading the three new board books, which came out earlier this month, many of the moms came up to me to ask where they could get these board books, or to jot down the titles of each, so that they could buy online and share again with their kids. They saw the little ones really enjoying these books, and wanted to be able to share the books with them again, at home and on-the-go. Because these are board books, they are small enough to add to diaper and duffel bags most moms of little ones carry with them. I know that when my girls were little, I had a mini library in my diaper bag, to pull and read to the girls, to keep them occupied and happy. :-)
Here is more about the three new board books from Abrams Children's Books that I was recently sent, and have shared with my girls and other moms with little ones. Be sure to read on as I am giving one lucky Inspired by Savannah reader a chance to win all three board books to share with that special child in their life. :-)
