scaredy squirrel
by: melanie watt {there's a fancy accent above the 'e' in melanie's name...boy, i wish my name had a fancy accent too. it would sound so much better!}
we can REALLLLLLLLY relate to scaredy squirrel around our house...as of late we have our own scaredy squirrel, mr. hugh. the poor babes has been bitten by fright! all of our artwork scares him...so our walls are bare....our refrigerator magnets scare him...the calendar scares him...the street lights scare him...men with beards, certain flowers, all froggies, horses with teeth, elephants, candle holders, zebras {and i am sure i'm leaving lots out}...all of those...scare hugh.
this will pass, right?
back to scaredy squirrel...
not only is the writing brilliant...but so are the illustrations. so when you rush out immediately to your corner bookstore to purchase scaredy squirrel...why not pick up this and this too!
thanks douglas...we are so lucky to have you!
worsley and i have a friend named...well we'll call her douglas {you know...her street name...literally}. douglas is talented in many, many ways...but if you ask us, we think douglas is most clever with choosing children's books. a mummy of 2 wee puddin' and pies, douglas is always reading and is always looking for beautiful books. often, worsley and i will ask her for recommendations and because she can offer so many...we sometimes aren't very bright at remembering each and every one! so worsley and i decided to dedicate one day a week to 'douglas reads'... where we will share with you one book hand picked by our queen of children's literature.

big momma makes the world
by: phyllis root
i have a tendency to go on and on when describing books {or movies} and mostly i recap way too many details to which usually bores the listener or ruins the ending...so i won't say a word other than...this book is perfect for a new mom...mom to be...or anyone who likes books {how about that for narrowing it down!!!}
enjoy.
