Many of us are familiar with picture book classics like Goodnight Moon, Little Critters, Berenstain Bears, Clifford, Arthur, Curious George, Little Golden Books ...the list goes on! And while we hold these books dear to us, they are .....a bit outdated. And that's okay! Like with most things, it happens. Of course we can still enjoy them, but SO many NEW, bright, and beautiful books have been released since then.
I plan to share with you a few of my favorites every few months. Let's call them FIFTEEN FAVORITES. 😊 Note that these books were not published in the month or year this post was written, but within the last 3 to 5 years.
