Presents for Picture Book Lovers

Only 37 days left until Christmas and only 21 until Hanukkah! Have you finished your shopping yet? Do you have someone on your list, young or old, who loves picture books? Someone who loves them so much you are not sure what book to buy them as they probably have them all? In that case how about one of the items on this list. (Hint, hint, husband)

How about piecing together a Franklin puzzle?

Or play a Where The Wild Things Are board game?




Why not cuddle up at night with a beloved children's book character?

For those adults who want to show off their love of children's literature there are a lot of lovely jewelry options.

Of course what all picture book lovers really covet is art by the illustrators who create the books we enjoy.

Last but not least, we have Felicia Hoshino, the author and illustrated of my beloved Sora and the Cloud, who offers to draw a portrait of your little loved one.


She also offers website banners, which I covet very very badly. 


Which of these do you want? Do you have any other ideas of gifts for picture book fanatics?

  1. Well, now I'm going to have to follow Felicia's blog (and dream of buying a website banner too ;p )
    Very cool ideas with the puzzle and board game.
    Is it just me or do the Little Red Riding Hood earrings look very Red Knit Cap Girl inspired? Is that part of the reason for your want of them?

    1. Oh I can see that now, so maybe it was a subconscious decision. I love kerchiefs. ;)
