Building our kids' library

As our kids get older, we would really love to build their library. We have enjoyed the days of Brown Bear and Goodnight Moon, but we are ready to move on. We really long to have books and stories that point them to Jesus (besides the story Bibles we have). Our plan is to give eah of the kids a book for Easter instead of all the candy and junk toys. Also, if you are ever wondering what to get us for any kind of gift...here is a list. If you don't live locally, Amazon.com is great. If you are looking for books for your kiddos, see if any of these sound good to you:

***We are not soliciting gifts. :) ...At the same time, you can print this list and save it for sometime in the future when you were planning to give a gift for birthday/Christmas etc.

These are books that my friends either have or plan to have in their own kids "library" of books at home. My friend, Kara, complied this list.
