I am an aunt several times over. I have one set of neices/nephews that are 17-21 years old. This year I became an Auntie again and my baby girl needed some books.
I tried to find some of my children's favorites, but decades later most are out of print. Does anyone remember a board book called Allie Alligator? "Allie Alligator is a funny fellow. Every time he sees a color, he changes his hat. ... Black is the color of night. Shhhhh. Baby animals are sleeping." Another treasure is A Million Chameleons. "A million chameleons all dressed in vermilion were dancing around in a garden pavillion..."
I went for Moo, Baa, La-La-La, some Curious George, a Hello Kitty, and a bath-time book.
I stopped at the Quilt Basket to see if they had any fabric book panels. They did!
I have many more books I would love to buy my new niece, but they might have to wait until she's a few months older. Frog and Toad, Harold and the Purple Crayon, The Carrot Seed ...
