We're Back!

After a year-long hiatus, Kristen and I have decided that we miss this blog something awful, and we want to start posting again.

While we haven't posted in a year, that doesn't mean that my son and I haven't been reading. Not only that, but we now have a children's bookstore -- The Storybook Shoppe -- right here in the Marketplace of our neighborhood. So, we have access to excellent children's books whenever we want. And an awesome shop owner, Miss Nancy, who knows the books in her shop like the back of her hand. She also knows her customers well enough to know what books to recommend each time we visit. It's such a joy to visit, and it's one of Allen's favorite places to go.

So without further ado, let's review a book :)

Welcome to our blog!

Kristen and I would like to welcome you to our new blog about children's books. This blog will feature all children's books all the time (with the occasional anecdote of our favorite "reader" Allen).

For those of you who may not know us, Kristen and I are sisters. I am a 30-something mom of a two-year-old boy, Allen. He's full of energy and life, and he loves -- I mean loves -- books. We have been reading to him since birth, and he now carves out time each day to books of one kind or another.

Kristen is a 30-something domestic goddess, who prior to getting hitched and moving far away, was a fantastic elementary school teacher. So, I rely on her to recommend (and sometimes buy) the perfect books for Allen. She has never let me down.

Together we hope to provide you with a well-rounded review and discussion of various children's books, both from the educator and mom perspectives.

Enjoy!!
