Baby Shower Sampler
These titles were listed recently for a baby shower in the area. The range and quality demonstrate the flexibility and variety that I can provide for a dedicated purpose like a baby shower. How else may we customize? Retirement party? Teacher certification or first job? Housewarming?
This worked because I could report sellouts to browsers so no duplicate gifts would be given, even though I am likely to stock many of the titles all the time.
Let me know if I can prepare a list — or follow yours — for a person or an event that calls out for books as gifts.
Madeline
Madeline
“In an old house in Paris
that was covered with vines
lived twelve little girls
in two straight lines
the smallest one was Madeline.”
Nothing frightens Madeline—not tigers, not even mice. With its endearing, courageous heroine, cheerful humor, and wonderful, whimsical drawings of Paris, the Madeline stories are true classics that continue to charm readers, even after 75 years!
Ludwig Bemelmans (1898-1962) was the author of the beloved Madeline books, including Madeline, a Caldecott Honor Book, and Madeline’s Rescue, winner of the Caldecott Medal
