Books are a big part of our lives. I have read to both my children while they were still in my womb. Reading is a part of our daily and nightly routines. Books have given my son his unbelievable imagination. Books have taught him so much and he is even begun to read a little bit on his own and he is so proud of himself. I hope books will do the same for my daughter. She loves to hear stories and look at the pages of brightly colored books just like Blooming Buddies In The Garden.
Blooming Buddies In the Garden: A Blooming Book of Verse By Deborah Donner and Wendy Peterson. This is a book that I 
know Alayna and I will enjoy together for years to come. There are about seventeen pages of beautifully water colored flowers each accompanied by a page of verse. The verses are carefree and peaceful and discuss the values of friendship, family, love and the community. We really enjoyed this book because it has great reading rhythm and bright and vibrant colors which kept the interest of my little nine month old. We received an 8″ x 10″ hard bound w/dust cover. The retail price is $16.99 and can be purchased at www.bloomingbuddies.com. This book will make an unique gift for the little girl, or little girl at heart in your life.
