Win!
Congratulations to Karlee, winner of this July’s prize - stay tuned for another giveaway in September.
To celebrate our 100th post, we have a Little Packrat Spot the Dog backpack to give away.
Perfect for little people to carry little books and other treasured things, these backpacks are extremely cute. The thing I love most is that they are different from the norm, and have a sense of fun.
This prize is kindly provided by Nicole from Brite Babes, the Australian distributor of Little Packrats. (US readers can buy them here.)

To enter, simply enter a comment on this page before Wednesday 23 July (and pop over to Brite Babes to check out the full range and some other lovely things). We will draw the winner at random.
I’m loving the site. Please keep the great book recs coming!

Thank you for combining beautiful books with stunning aesthetics.
Congratulations on 100 posts!
I wanted to offer a suggested book … it’s written by my favorite German author illustrator - Philip Waechter. His book ‘Ich!’ (also available in English ‘Me!’) is a classic.

Well done guys!!! I bought three books about boys named Henry (guess what my son’s name is?) based on your recommendations, and they were all instant favorites! I got very nostalgic seeing the picture of The Red Balloon on your home page this morning, it was definitely one of my favorites as a kid, I’ll have to see if my Mom still has it!

Deliriously excited to have discovered your site… will devour it on behalf of my two and a half year old niece with the aim of becoming her favourite-est aunt ever. And hope the meatballs worked out: you got it; dust lightly in flour.
