We had started receiving and collecting children’s books in both English and Japanese before Mio was born, so that we could make sure we had ample reading material for her when she arrived. We got a lot of books at our baby showers and also after Mio was born as well!
One of the clients I work with at our company sent us this awesome Dr. Seuss book collection!
It includes all the classics: The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, Fox in Socks, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, and Hop on Pop. We love Dr. Seuss, and this collection will be a family treasure for years to come! 🙂
Our friend Ali also sent us these neat books! Another Dr. Seuss book — Thidwick The Big-Hearted Moose. I wasn’t familiar with this one, and it was a great addition to Mio’s Dr. Seuss collection. 🙂
The other book, What will I be from A to Z, is a very cool vintage book from the ’70s! It’s in great condition, and is interesting to read because there are some occupations that are no longer around, or have since become very rare.
The illustrations inside are a lot of fun to look at!
Ali and her husband Tim have an Etsy shop where they rescue vintage books and put them up for sale to find new loving owners for them. Take a look at their Oldies & Goodies store and accompanying blog for some beautiful vintage literary finds!
Our friend Estella (who also happens to be one of my amazing coworkers!) brought over this Baby’s Book of Animals for Mio last week when they brought over a delicious sushi dinner for us. (Did I mention how much I’ve missed sushi?) It has some really cute photos of baby animals, along with all the sounds that they make.
Mio now has quite an impressive assortment of books in her little library. She is all set on the road to becoming a bookworm like Mommy!
Here is a sweet photo I took of Daddy reading one of the books to Mio. (She seems a little disengaged from all the creepy crawlies on the page… I don’t blame her!)
