A Picture Perfect Childhood

Yesterday in the mail there was a book!  Books in the mail are always get us excited around here.  This new book is called A Picture Perfect Childhood by Cay Gibson and can be found here.  Cay Gibson is fast becoming one of my favorite authors and I have yet to be disappointed with any of her books so far.  This book is no exception.  I read through the first half in one sitting and went on to scan the rest of the booklists.  Cay shows us how we can give our children a rich literary experience using pictures books for 15 minutes a day!  The booklists seem endless!  There is a booklist for every month of the year, for many subjects, and even a picture book list of authors, plus more.  A few years ago Cay was then leading a picture book author list that had an author a week.  We found some of our favorite authors that way.  With this book I know we will find more treasures and a trip to the big city library is being planned very soon.  I cannot say enough about this book and I know it is a book that will be used over and over again for many years to come.  I’m so glad I splurged and ordered this treasure.
