Today I have a guest post by picture book/middle grade
author, Kelly Polark! Her latest picture book,
WORDS ON BIRDS, was released this
summer!

Thanks for the book recommendations, Kelly. I have a new nephew and am looking for some good picture books for him.
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome suggestions Kelly! I love giving books for gifts and these are great ones!
ReplyDeleteYou are both TOO COOL--thanks so much for including the Dragonfly series, Kelly! Love you guys, <3
ReplyDeleteWow, great match ups! I need to get one of those astronomy balls :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for making Wish You Weren't part of the great ideas!
What great gift ideas! I remember receiving The Hungry Caterpillar along with a caterpillar toy when my kids were little. But wouldn't have thought of some of these other pairings.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing my post, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteI frequently give books along with a toy or shirt for my kids' friends and of course always give my own kids books along with their bday or Christmas gifts! And for baby gifts I give a book plus another gift. Never too early to start reading to your child!
Great ideas! Books are great gifts--I love to give them and receive them! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kelly and Sharon!
Thanks for the gift recommendations. Something for everyone. : )
ReplyDeleteMy kids totally got into the Origami Yoda series, and I admit, I'm curious. I'd like to pick up a copy and see what the fun is about.
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon and Kelly,
ReplyDeleteThose book selections cover a lot of varying interests. I'm looking for one written by a dog! :)
Thanks for this, Kelly. Thank you, Sharon and I'm back online later next week. Time to get moving...:)
Hugs and kindness,
Gary (( ))

ReplyDeleteHappy August my friend! Hope you are having a fantastic summer.
