Seasonal Books: Love Day

I am really not into the commercial Valentines Day, but I am in to LOVE and teaching my kids to show love to those around you. Thus, the books I have collected for this time of year are love focused and not Valentines Day focused.

1. Plant A Kiss by Amy Krouse Rosenthal- About a little girl who plants a kiss and what happens as she shares it. Great discussion with my kids about love and sharing it!

2. The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn - This is a classic.

3. The Biggest Kiss by Joanna Walsh - All the variety of kisses. 

4. Mama Do You Love Me? by Barbara M. Joosse - The little girl makes some bad choices, asks her mother if she will still love her, and of course we know the mothers reply. I love this book for my little rascal boys because it reinforces to them that even when they get into get into mischief I still love them.

5.I Love You Through and Through by Bernadette Rossetti Shustak- I LOVE this book for my littlest and my big Kinder. It talks about everything you love about your little one in a rhythmic pattern.

6. I Love You, Stinky Face by Lisa Mccourt - I tend to shy away from these books just because I don't really like derogatory words used in an affectionate way. HOWEVER, the "stinky face books" I have bought have all been very cute.

7.How Do You Hug a Porcupine? by Laurie Isop - Darling! Fun! Gets kids laughing and thinking; a perfect combo!

8. Who Loves the Little Lamb? by Lezlie Evans- This book is also on my 10 Amazing Children's Books 1st ed. and it  is a fabulous book about loving your children no matter what! You NEED to have it in your children's library!


9.Guess How Much I Love You? by Sam McBratney - A must for toddlers!

10. I Love You, Goodnight by Jon Buller and Susan Schade- " I love you like I love blueberry pancakes"- A child's interpretation of how much he/she loves someone.

Have fun getting your "love" books! Remember my tip for creating your children's library to help you get books for less.
