Great ideas. </p> <p>@Danizaur: I'm planning on getting The Moose Belongs to Me for my LO! </p> <p>@Charm54: We are big Gruffalo fans in this house!</p> <p>@Mrs. Pen: I think I'll be getting chapter books for my nephew and oldest niece - I will definitely look into those suggestions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-book-recommendations#post-1977662 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 19:48:22 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1977662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are they into chapter books yet? If so I suggest The Little Princess and The Boxcar children series. </p> <p>Otherwise we love- and older kids do too- the Charlie and Lola series by Lauren Child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-book-recommendations#post-1977614 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 19:01:52 +0000 Charm54 1977614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some of my (and my 2nd graders) favourite books:</p> <p>-any and all Mo Willems (elephant and Piggie, pigeon series, that is not a good idea, knufflebunny,goldilocks and the 3 dinosaurs)</p> <p>-Press Here (they go bananas for this book!)</p> <p>-This is not my hat &amp; I want my hat back (huge hits !

Of course at 9.5 months he barely has any interest, but I found a couple of ones I just loved. </p> <p>The first one is This Moose Belongs to Me<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0399161031/?tag=googhydr-20&#038;hvadid=33047180288&#038;hvpos=1t1&#038;hvexid=&#038;hvnetw=g&#038;hvrand=1632832852820417695&#038;hvpone=12.76&#038;hvptwo=&#038;hvqmt=b&#038;hvdev=t&#038;ref=pd_sl_63a764zs2l_b" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/dp/0399161031/?tag=googhydr-20&#038;hvadid=33047180288&#038;hvpos=1t1&#038;hvexid=&#038;hvnetw=g&#038;hvrand=1632832852820417695&#038;hvpone=12.76&#038;hvptwo=&#038;hvqmt=b&#038;hvdev=t&#038;ref=pd_sl_63a764zs2l_b</a><br /> DH and I were cracking up when reading it. It was adorable and the illustrations are definitely eye catching.</p> <p>We get a lot of books by Helen Lester because they are enjoyable for parents to read. I'm really reading to T for myself (of course there are benefits for him but he isn't interested right now) and I enjoy these. I think kids would like the silly stories </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-book-recommendations#post-1977560 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 17:47:31 +0000 cait 1977560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've decided to get books for my nieces and nephew for Christmas this year... but no idea what to get. My nieces are 5 and 6, and my nephew is almost 7. Any suggestions on books or authors? </p>
