busy doggies.

board books are so much fun. when taylor was little, she would sit and look through hers over and over (occasionally chewing a corner). it's crazy to watch the progression in them at that age: from trying to rip and eat the pages, to actually recognizing animals, people, sounds, objects. it's truly amazing.

my aunt (who also happens to have my dream job as a children's teacher librarian) gave brennan, 'busy doggies' by john schindel for christmas, and he LOVES it! trust me, this baby has loads of board books, but this one is filled with real puppy photos!

there's a whole series by the same author, so depending on what kind of animal your little one is most drawn to, take your pick! busy monkeys, busy penguins, busy pandas, busy chickens, busy piggies, busy bunnies ... there's so many to choose from!

each page features an up close and personal photo, with an action verb defining each one ...

this one's my favorite out of 'busy doggies'

brennan loves puppies right now, and 'woofs' and 'ooooooooh's' at any that he sees. so this book was perfect—his eyes just lit up! any baby that has a thing for puppies (or any of the other animals in the series) will love these!
