Board Books

The Rock Star Librarian and I went to the public library's children's book sale today. I had heard it could get crowded... I did not expect it to be so CUTTHROAT with all the pushing and grabbing. Nonetheless, I managed to work my way through the rabid masses and nab some good finds for my daughter:

Puppies at Play (not a particularly good book, but it has picture of puppies, so there's that.)
Find the Duck
But Not the Hippopotamus (Sandra Boynton...)
Blue Hat, Green Hat (... is awesome!)
A House for Hermit Crab (Eric Carle... he's more than just a hungry caterpillar)
Baby Pets, Me & My Bear and Smile! (3 from the "Baby Faces" series because my kiddo digs looking at other babies)
Maybe My Baby
Good Morning Baby
Tickle Me Too
Undersea Open Sesame (An unbelievable find. I refuse to believe this lift-the-flap style book actually circulated because it is in near-perfect condition)
Maisy Likes Music (it has a built in rattle! Maisy rules!)

The Secret Life of Bees

I decided this was "multi-cultural." I have actually read quite a bit of multi-cultural fiction that could have met my multi-cultural fiction requirement for Reader's Advisory (Midnight's Children, A Fine Balance, Beloved and everything else Toni Morrison has ever written, Ceremony, etc.), but I wanted to read something new and I really enjoyed this.
