my book wish list. (Children's Book Edition)

Hi. 

Got my Ginger Green Tea with honey and milk today. Trying to get in as many anti inflammatory foods/drinks I can. Anyone else deal with severe tendonitis? I have it in my left wrist. It's not fun. I'm literally trying everything, since it's been three months with no relief: Including...icing it, foods/spices that are known to reduce inflammation, and a brace. I even rub olive oil and cayenne pepper on it (no it doesn't burn) which apparently is suppose to help. The next step is physical therapy. (enter sad face!) 

Anyways...


So lately I've been researching what a good book is. And what good books to read to our kids. Sorta to weed out what's necessary from what is just for fun. 
Mostly illustrated children's books.



And found that there are so many good books I have never even heard of. Well that makes sense. But it is AMAZING the NUMBER of books I've never heard of. I don't have a detail description of all of them, but they first one I recently read, but we don't own yet. 

So here's my list(and I'm sure I could add about a hundred more!):

1.) Wilfrid Gordon Macdonald Partridge By Mem Fox.

A seriously cute book about a little boy who meets a 90 something year old woman and his discovery of what the word "Memory" means, since she apparently lost hers.

(I love how Youtube has so many titles your kids can watch 
and follow along, best way to test if you like the book, before you buy)

2.) The True Princess by Angela Elwell Hunt

3.) Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney

4.) We're going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen

5.)Does God Knows How to Tie Shoes by Nancy White Carlstrom
(Link)

6.) All the classics! 
( We can't wait to start reading them to our kids! )

Apparently there's even a book for that.



What are some of your favorites?

Maybe I'll add them to my wish list.
