Book Review! Parent Love Letters

While baby turtle was still baking, hubby and I found these two books at Sam's Club that looked really cute: Love From My Heart To A Precious Little Girl and You're My Little Love Bug! by Heidi R. Werner. The ones we bought are just board books and don't have the music box attached to them.

There are quite a few things that I like about these books.The artwork is really colorful. Right now, baby turtle is 10 weeks old and is starting to notice colors a lot more. When I read this book to her, she loves looking at the pictures. Sometimes I have to wait a pretty minute for her to finish looking at a page! The text is also really simple to read aloud. I can see myself ready this over and over to her as she grows older without getting too tired. (confession: I already know almost half the words already!)

The content is simple and emphasizes a parent's love for their child. Both books end with a tidbit with how your child is a blessing from God. Love from My Heart is about how complete your little girl makes your life. My favorite lines are: "If you weren't my little girl, there'd be a big hole in my heart! A piece would be gone! I just couldn't go on! My heart would be searching for YOU!". (There's also a Love From My Heart book for little boys. If baby turtle 2.0 is a boy, we will definitely get that!!) You're My Little Love Bug! is just a cute book with different ways to give someone a loving pet name. My favorite lines are "You're my ice cream sandwich, my watermelon gum. My soda pop, my lollipop, my yummy yummy yum!". (note: I added commas and periods to show where I would pause and stop if reading this out loud.)

All in all, I highly recommend these two books!
