Book Corner: Higher! Higher!

I love books! When Leslie Patricelli's new books arrived at my door my toddler son asked hopefully "are those for me?" We sat down to read them...and again...and again...and again. I finally had to beg off because my throat was getting sore from reading so long!

The books we were reading were Higher! Higher! and Baby Happy, Baby Sad, both written and illustrated by Patricelli. My favorite of the two was Higher! Higher! The main character daughter is swinging with her daddy, pleading to go higher - and ends up higher than you would probably expect!

Both books were a fun read. The best part was certainly the illustrations - colorful and cute, they are beautiful and enjoyable. They are a bit short on story line, but the pictures tell quite a good story by themselves. I enjoyed asking my toddler if he knew what was going on just by looking at the pictures.

These are definitely books written by a real-life mom, and I hope you enjoy them as much as we are.

Dupage Mamas hope to feature books for kids of all ages as well as their parents on a regular basis. If you have a book you'd like to share on Book Corner, email your ideas or written post to us!
