Visual Feasts for the Kitchen Table, or Easel Worthy Titles
Our family was gifted a perfect bookworm friendly gift this year for Christmas– a wooden book easel. I think it may become our most used gift of the year, and I’ve quickly begun to wonder why we didn’t have one…

Cracking The Nutcracker: What We’re Reading Before We Watch
Confession: I’ve never been to a performance of The Nutcracker! Since Preschool Bookworm is such a fan of the orchestra, I thought we’d give The Nutcracker ballet a shot this year. We’ve been listening to Tchaikovsky’s music, and it’s become…
Christmas Books for a Two Minute Attention Span
Combine my high standards with Toddler Bookworm’s attention span, and you know the books that make our cut are pretty unique! When it comes to holiday books (Christmas or any other), I have little patience for books that seem like…
Fall Faves: A Short List Slightly Expanded
Now that I’ve been blogging over a year, it’s fun to look back on posts from one year ago and reminisce. Like Timehop, but bookish. We have been enjoying last year’s Fall Faves once again this year, and we’ve come…

New Sibling, New Problems: Books for Bumps in the New Sibling Road
My sister once gifted me a pillow inscribed with a quote: “I smile because you’re my sister. I laugh because there’s nothing you can do about it.” For real. We fought like CRAZY at certain periods of our growing up…

New Baby Books that Don’t Borrow Trouble
When I became a sister, I was the happiest girl on the planet! I had begged my parents for a baby pretty much from the time I could talk, and just before my 4th birthday my wish came true! Fast…
Eat These Up! Picture Books for Picky Eaters
As I write this, we are about six weeks into our family’s real food revolution. I’ve taken to heart the advice I’ve read over & over to quit as short order cook, and I’ve stopped buying the packaged snack foods…
Loving These Lately: Board Books, Picture Books, and Audiobooks, Oh My!
While our library checkouts have been smaller in number lately, their readings have made up for it! We’ve been wearing the bindings on these with repeat readings at all hours of the day! This post contains affiliate links. As…

Our Summer Bucket List, Booked Up
I just LOVE bucket lists! Actually, I love all sorts of lists. I imagine no one is shocked by this fact. (A librarian who loves lists?! How can this be?!) Bucket lists are a special breed. I make them at…
Introducing Audiobooks to Toddlers & Preschoolers
Twenty something years later I can still vividly recall listening to the audiobook of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe on a road trip with my parents. The story was so clear in my mind that watching the eventual…
Librarian on the Road: Packing for Literacy with Littles
I don’t travel well. I suffer from a bad case of over packing. Doomsday Preppers meets Type A mom of two. When Preschool Bookworm was a baby, he cried hysterically on every single car trip, short or long, for the…
Baby Sign Language: How Our Preschooler Uses Sign {Part 7}
When I was a school librarian, one of the teachers I most admired happened to use sign language with her (hearing) second graders. When gathering the kids at the end of their library book checkout period, it was often a loud,…
