Little One Books Review and Giveaway


Did you have an imaginary friend when you were little? I did her name was Dee and as the story goes as my mother tells it Dee came into my life played for quite some time and then one day quietly was not there any longer. My children have never had an imaginary friend as my mother describes mine yet all in all I have seen them use their imaginations through play and activities that they have participated in. In part I associate imagination with items that children see in every day life, through quality programs that they watch on T.V. and through books and videos that they have read and watched. Little One Books offers books, music and video that children of a variety of ages will love. Imagination is very important to children through the stages of development. The opportunity to grow with a rich source of imagination thought process and creativity by being able to escape and get away from it all mentally for just a short period of time. The ability to "think outside of the box" allows them the opportunity to produce more creative results when learning and working. For these reasons we must when ever possible offer our children the tools and time to grow a valuable imagination.


As I mentioned one thing that we can do is offer them books, music and video to be able to gain knowledge about other places, people and activities that go on around the world and beyond. Little One Books can help to do just this as they offer wonderful tools in the form of books, music and video. If you are not aware of who Little One Books are here is a bit of information about them:


Little One Books is an outlet that was created by a set of loving grandparents. They were very much like me and took being a grandparent as an important job and wanted to do all that they could. As parents this couple had placed a spotlight on the role of reading books, listening to music, and playing video. They knew that the three activities were very important in a child's early life. When it came time to buy such items for their granddaughter they were astounded about how many products were on the market. They searched out the very soft music that they were looking for and were surprise by the time that it took to do so. Because of their search they devised a guide in Little One Books to help others make informed choices from the vast amount of products on the market for children. Little One Books specialize in quality books, music, and video for children birth through age five. Each of the products available have been personally reviewed and selected and the choice of why the product was selected is available in the "Why We Chose" section of each product page



Upon being offered the opportunity to take a look at Little One Books and select a product that my Little Princess would love I decided to think about what she liked. I know that at the age of two her mother does not let her watch a lot of T.V. but she does love her videos. So I decided that I would select a video for her and the perfect one that I found was one that starred her favorite character Elmo.

Recommended for children ages 2 years old Perfect for Princess who was 2 this past September. Among the reasons this book was added to the items available at Little One Books was because of the interaction that the characters in the DVD offered, not only is the video playful but also teaches valuable lessons that helps prepare children for preschool. I believe that the written observations that are shared on the Little One Books website offers information that helps to make a valuable informed decision. Knowing what the DVD offered would help a parent to better decide if that is the video for their child or if they would be better off with another. I personally feel that this video will be one that my Little Princess will love and be very thankful that her Nana got for her. Not only will she love it but I think that her mommy will be thankful as well.

Buy: you can purchase wonderful products for children birth to age 5 at the Little One Books website. Reasonably priced with a wonderful selection available and even better a description about the product that is created by individuals with children in mind.

Win: one of Annies Home readers will receive a $20 gift certificate from Little One Books to purchase a product of their choice.
