A few pictures from Otto’s nursery…
Some of his wall decorations have a book connection…
A Penguin poster…
My friend Lisa gave me these cards from Chronicle, and I framed four of them. They are hung next to Otto’s change table and he loves staring at the contrasting colours. Nice to think he is staring at such loving images too….
Board books don’t really belong on a shelf like this one but until Otto is ready to hold them himself, I like seeing them lined up like this. Rowan helps to choose some books from this shelf for us to read with Otto each night. Any of your favourites missing from our shelf??
Not sure about the missing board books – but I just bought a collection of the Chronicle cards yesterday while checking out a local bookshop. They are so lovely – I guess I can’t send one to you now though!
Otto is lovely. It’s one of our boy names too (on our list of neglected names, since we keep cooking up girls).
This is an absolute favourite in this house. Let’s Play by Leo Lionni:

Also Alison Lester’s board books

And I am loving anything by Anna Walker at the moment.

And… as an update. The first card was my Valentine’s today. Must be fate that I should see it three times in 24 hours.
Otto looks adorable! It won’t be long until he is pulling those books down himself….
At our house when my boys were wee ones they both enjoyed
Charlie Chick and Goodnight Poppy Cat (nice and short for little ones).
My smallest absolutely loved Funny-Face by Nicola Smee – and it is such fun to read.
I don’t think they are there?
I have to say that I miss reading board books
