Shopping for Books.

I have $30.00 to spend on books for the infant room.  I could go to Chapters and get a few....or I could check out the local thrift stores and get a few more.  I hope.  Sometimes I think I am so picky about finding GREAT books that I often walk away with nothing in hand.  But I will be patient and I am confident I will eventually find some that I like.

SO WHAT KIND OF BOOKS AM I LOOKING FOR???

*They must be board books.  Paper pages wouldn't last a day!

*Although some older infants are capable of listening to a longer story, I like books with less words for really little ones

*Rhyming words in a book is fun  ---Jamberry, Little Blue Truck

*Song books are fun too -- The Wheels on the Bus or Baby Beluga

*Books with real photographs are something little ones can relate to.

                               So far so good....Five books for $4.00
