Looking for the perfect Christmas gift for a family with little ones? Sweetmama.ca has incredible gift ideas for all of the family members on your list!
Our favourite suggestion? The Mommy & Daddy Boxed Set by Anne Gutman and Georg Hallensleben. Sweetmama.ca liked it too! They said:
This set includes two books on mommies (Mommy Hugs, Mommy Loves), and two on daddies (Daddy Cuddles, Daddy Kisses), each of which show a nice variety of animals loving on their young ones. The last embrace of each book is a child with their parent. I love these for the vocabulary – I had no idea that baby koalas were joeys, and baby hedgehogs were hoglets! – and for the warm affection that is portrayed here without a trace of saccharine.
Equally attractive to me -- and contributing to the warm, cozy atmosphere of the books -- are the paintings. They are bold and richly ochre-toned, but more complex than they look at first glance, making for a gorgeous animal book as well as a quartet of little love stories. What a treat for a parent to share with their own kiddos.
Another one of their favourite gift ideas? The Little Books Boxed Set by Amy Krouse Rosenthal, illustrated by Jen Corace. Great News!!! They are giving one away! All you have to do is leave them a comment with what your families favourite board book is! Enter Here.
