Baby book shower

A friend of mine who is a happy new grandmother sent me a wonderful photo of her 2 1/2 week old grandson being read Dr Seuss's Ten apples up on top by his father, and the look of rapt engagement was a delight to see.

This new baby will grow up a reader for sure, and in fact his mother's baby shower was a baby, book and barbeque shower and everyone brought a new copy of their favourite book – either one they had read to their children or their own favourite. What a great idea - starting off a new reading lifetime with a library of literary treasures !

I'm sending him All the world by Liz Garton Scanlon and illustrated Marlee Frazee which is my latest, favourite "welcome to the world new baby" book.
