Noisy Nora: A Prized Possession

Even before Hubby & I were expecting Baby Layman aka Lucy aka G-Baby (grandbaby), the grandmas had started collecting books for their future grandchildren. My mom seems to have made it her mission to start using children's books as a good souvenir from the places she has visited in the last several months and I quickly followed suit. We picked up 3 different books while in Maui to add to our collection!

Today though, we may have added what could be considered the most prized children's book to our collection...or at least the most prized in my mom's eyes.

Noisy Nora was apparently my super duper favoritest childrens' book. I "read" this to my parents on a regular basis, which for a small child really just means that I had the entire book memorized and I recited it back to them as the pages turned!

My mom and I had both searched for this on the Internet at various times and hadn't had much luck finding it at traditional book stores. She finally tracked it down from a used bookstore and had it shipped immediately! This specific copy is already reserved to stay at my parents' house, but if Baby Layman likes it as much as I did...I may have to invest in my own copy!

Reading with my children is one of the things I'm most looking forward to with my children and I can't wait to experience his/her favorite books!

So...any favorite childrens' books that I shouldn't miss adding to our collection!?!?
