Favourite Books 2010: Heather Camlot, MySweetBaby

by Dan
Kids + News + Parenting / December 28, 2010

Create Your Own PlanetCreate Your Own Planet
Todd Parr
Chronicle Books ISBN 9780811871464
$16.99

Trying to explain the world beyond the window to young children such as my own is tough, but this fun “doodle and draw” book makes them to think about life around them, from whether caterpillars wear shoes to what makes people happy.

 

ShadowShadow
Suzy Lee
Chronicle Books ISBN 9780811872805
$17.99


Imaginative play at its best — while the young girl in Shadow creates her own world with simple items found in the attic, young readers create their own story to the simple, striking images in the wordless book. 

 

Every Day's A HolidayEvery Day's A Holiday: Year-Round Crafting with Kids
Heidi Kenney

Chronicle Books ISBN 9780811871440
$26.95


I can’t get enough of craft books — they are without hesitation my favourite reads. I love this one for the range of techniques and materials, from fruit-stamping onto fabric to constructing a garden basket out of mini fencing, as well as for the list of unusual holidays — World Origami Days, who knew?
