I haven’t read it since I was little myself, but I used to love “the Bunnies’ Get Well Soup” about a bunny family who gets sick and the mommy bunny (with help from their woodland crature neighbors) makes them soup. I remember an illustration of all the baby bunnies in one big bed that took up both pages that were visible and always made me giggle. It includes a recipe which I always wanted to try but never did.

I found an AP book by accident. I knit and I decided to check out all the picture books I could find that had a character knitting in it. I found one called, “Knitty Kitty.” The mother cat, not only doesn’t get mad that her kittens are using her knitted items on a snowman instead of themselves (my parents would have gotten made at me for playing with something they put time into making), but when the kittens are cold at night because the warm knitted items are on the snowman, she says, “Don’t worry, I’ve got something that’ll keep you warm: me!” And they all sleep together. Definitely one of my favorites.

Robert Munsch – Love You Forever is a MUST have. I cry like a baby when I read it to my kids. It’s the best ever children’s book.

I totally agree with you. My daughter (almost 1 year) doesn’t take a bottle and never has. I doubt she even knows what a bottle is, yet it’s a picture of a bottle labeled “milk” in a few of her first words books. I’ve put books back on the shelves at stores because they only depict babies with bottles. H0w will she relate to that? Also, so many of the dolls that I see in the stores come with bottles.

This is a great post, I know exactly what you mean about how hard it is to find books for young children without cribs, bottles etc. I found more children’s books that are supportive of attachment parenting & breastfeeding at Kellymom and Attachments.

I have found it hard too finding ‘well meaning’ books that are totally the opposite of what I want my son to hear a story about. For us it was books about having a new baby brother or sister and most of them were all gloom and doom. Of course at the end the child learns to love the sibling but most of them started with assumptions about babies my son never had.
