To be frank, I originally purchased Little Owl’s Night for me. I simply fell in love with the doe-eyed bird aptly named Little Owl. For about a year on roughly month long intervals I would reread the book, hoping that Bean might now share my enthusiasm. Nope. Nada. Not yet. Until a month ago when voila, Bean loved Little Owl as much as I did! I promptly bought Little Owl’s Day to celebrate.

Proven Picks for the Littles on Your ListWhen shopping for the holidays, simply walking into a store and hoping to find good ideas for the little in your life can get overwhelming fast! There are so many toys available in early winter, and the malls and stores are packed with people. Likewise, shopping online can get a bit harried, too. You’re being inundated with ads everywhere from your inbox, to your social media account. You can certainly pick the most adorable clothes or toys you come across, but you might be disappointed by how little they get used after the wrapping paper has been discarded.
As you're shopping for presents this year, don’t be afraid of getting toys or books that are a little bit of a reach for your favorite littles. Rather than watch our kids play with everything until January, and then never touch any of it again, we opt for things that we can watch them grow into throughout the year, and hopefully enjoy for another year or two to come. This is a list of toys and products you can expect to put some miles on. Everything is at least useful, and hopefully beautiful as well. Let’s take a look.

Getting to know Jan Brett's workDo you know who Jan Brett is? If you said no, I bet you’re wrong.
Do you remember, as a kid in grade school, reading a book about a kid who loses a white mitten in the snow? The animals of the forest, knowing cozy outerwear when they see it, climb in one by one, each animal bigger than the last. And then you all cut out mitten shapes from paper and got to use the STAPLER to stick the two pieces together into a mitten-shaped pouch, into which you popped your colored-in animals, thus replicating the story before your very eyes. I KNOW I am not the only one who did that at least once growing up. If you have a very similar memory, you can thank Jan Brett.

Do Princesses Wear Hiking Boots? is the simple story of a vivacious little girl, wondering if she could be a princess. She likes riding tricycles. But that doesn’t seem very lady-like. Do princesses ride tricycles? She likes climbing trees. But that doesn’t seem like a regal pastime. Do princesses climb trees? With each question her mother assuages her fears. Of course princesses wear hiking boots, when they wish to take the scenic routes. Of course princesses climb trees, is there a better way to catch the breeze? The books concludes with her real question, “Do princesses seem at all like me? Look inside yourself and see. A princess is a place in your heart.”
