April 2nd - International Children's Book Day

Today is International Children's Book Day! We are so fortunate to be able to read to our children or grandchildren and we have a day dedicated to this! I read to my sons every night from when they were just born until they were about 12. It has been a while since then and I must admit that this is the one thing I really miss about the boys being younger.

So... I want to see a layout with children's book. It could be your children or grandchildren reading, a niece, or just a favourite book from your childhood! Here is one I did of Stuart's Mr. Men Library that he loved (and still has). Whatever I was reading to him, we HAD to end with a Mr. Men book! LOL!!



You have until April 29th at midnight to get this challenge done and uploaded to here! Happy Reading!!

Love it!

I, too, miss reading to my kids!

This is a great idea! I used to read to the kids all the time.. until they were almost 18!! Like you said, Helen, it's one of the things I miss most about my kids being smaller. Now I'm reading to my grandkids...

Love that linear layout! Th elittle Mr. Tickle is too cute.

Thanks Carla and Kelly!

I love Mr Men & Little miss books....wonder if could dig up some pix of my little people reading...how many Mr Men books are there ? cute layout, lovin' all the colors ! are those DPB's on there ? lol

I am not sure how many Mr Men and Little Miss books there are Kerri, but in the set Stuart got YEARS ago there are 42 and they are all well used! We bought them when we lived in the UK. Very popular there too!!

And no Kerri..... they are not DPB.... you should know better! LOL!!!

Great idea, and of course they are DPBs otherwise where else would they have come from?

LOL!! No they are not Jackie.!!! They were manufactured speciffically for scrappin!! LOL!!!

I used to read to my kids but our nights are so busy. I really need to make more time for it.

Great LO Helen!

You just keep kidding yourself there Helen. LMAO

seeeee bet ya those scrap companies thought hahahah we'll just package them up ,stick a scrappy name label on them & sell them to Helen hahahaha
have yet to find a pic of my kidlets reading...hmmm

Oh well Kerri, you can't tell Helen anything, she thinks she knows everything.

Great, I have a photo I can scrap for this.

I would always read to my kids but my mother read to my DD ALL the time and she nows reads to and with her kids. Tyler and his mommy read books every night when he goes to bed.
