Picture Books for Moms

by

As an adult, is there a picture book that you love? If so, please share in the comments.

These are my top 3 “Especially for Mom” books that I’ve discovered so far:

If I Could Keep You Little by Marianne Richmond

Love You Forever by Robert Munsch

Five Little Ducks by Orchard Books (Illustrated by Ivan Bates)

 

Books like these help me appreciate the motherhood stage I’m in. If I Could Keep You Little and Love You Forever are good reminders that they won’t be ages 6 and 3 forever. And Five Little Ducks shows me what will hopefully happen after they’ve flown the coop.

I think I enjoy these books more than my kids do. I even keep them in a special spot in my closet. Although their favorite out of the three seems to be Five Little Ducks.  Picture books…not just for kids.

  2. I, too, love “If I could Keep You Little”! I just bought it last week. I also love reading baby girl “Oh the Thinks You can Think” by Seuss!

    • I agree, that’s a great one too, Alyssa! It’s been a long time since I’ve read it, though.

  6. We loved “Goodnight Gorilla,” and “Goodnight Moon,” but my favorite was “The Runaway Bunny.” And I think they loved that one too.

    The bunny says he will run away and become different things (like a fish) and the momma bunny says she will run after him and tells how she will rescue him by becoming something (like she becomes a fisherman and rescues him that way).

    It’s basically momma letting him know that she will always come after him because she loves him and won’t let him go.

    Thanks so much for linking up to “Making Your Home Sing Monday” today! 🙂

    • Oh, that’s so cool, Nan! I’ve seen the cover of the Runaway Bunny book, but I’ve never actually read it. Putting it on my list of books to read.

    • Thanks for pinning Rebecca!
      I need to read You’re All My Favourites!

  10. Another great books is Someday by Alison McGee. That book, along with If I Could Keep You Little and I’ll Love You Forever, always make me cry!

  12. Goodness, the picture-book phase of parenting was my favorite. I LOVE picture books, so it would be terribly difficult to pick just a few. Off the top of my head, I’ve always liked Where’s the Dragon by Jason Hook. I also like anything Lisa McCue illustrates. 🙂 I still like going to Barnes and Noble and perusing all of the new picture books even though my kids are past that age.
