What’s On My Book Shelf?

by Rebecca

I’m always curious what other people have on their book shelves. It’s one of the first things I check out in homes, offices, classrooms, etc. Primarily I’m simply curious, but I’m also looking for common interests and new reading ideas. If I’m at a home where I’m highly impressed with the parents, I look to see what parenting books they have on their shelves. When at family’s home where I know they read a lot of interesting books to their children, I seek out their shelves of children’s books.

Obviously I can not go into your homes and look at your book shelves so post some comments and share with me what you have your book shelf. Today we’ll work on general parenting books. Next week we’ll share favorite children’s books. I have written mine in alphabetical order with links, but that’s not necessary when you post your books. I’m curious to find out what everyone is reading!

So… tell me what is on your shelf.

About Parenting Toddlers

Raising a toddler is one of the most rewarding experiences. We learn just how much love we have in the deepest recesses of our hearts and just how deep the well of our patience can go with only three hours of sleep. We learn to see the world from a new perspective and we delight in the very basic achievements of our children. Amid their tantrums and shouting "No!" toddlers help us to stretch our imaginations and rediscover the books we enjoyed when we were children. Rebecca will share stories of her own children as toddlers, review parenting and children's books and offer suggestions for everything from potty training to catching bugs with a straight face. She will share craft ideas, fun activities, how to form a playgroup, nutrition for toddlers, development, adding a new sibling, your toddler as the youngest child, adopting a toddler and more.
