Reading is a huge part of my life. Always has been, always will be. My kids have developed my love of reading as well. When I received two books by Leslie Patricelli, I couldn’t stop looking at them with my kids.
The first book we looked at was a little young for them, but they still liked it nonetheless called “Baby Happy Baby Sad”. This book is a board book and would be good for 12 months and up, in my opinion. The pictures are colorful and very expressive. As you guessed from the title, each page shows either a happy baby moment or a sad baby moment.
The second book was a big hit, especially for my 4 year old who loves to swing and is always telling me to make him go higher. In the book, “Higher! Higher!”, there is a little girl on a swing asking her father to push her higher and higher. With each new page, we see just how high she goes (or how high her imagination takes her). With vivid colors and very expressive pictures, “Higher! Higher” is a book that any child would enjoy.
Leslie Patricelli is the author and the illustrator of her books. Her titles include:
- Binky, Blankie
- BIG Little
- Quiet LOUD
- Yummy YUCKY
- The Birthday Box
- Baby Happy Baby Sad
- Higher! Higher!
I highly recommend both books. I think they would make a nice addition to a shower gift, a first birthday present, etc. “Higher! Higher!” is available in March and “Baby Happy Baby Sad” is available now. Pick up one, or pick up both!
