I’m a sucker for children’s books, but the ones I covet are typically the same hardbacks I read over and over again when I was a tater tot. But one jaunt past these adorable titles perched in a local bookstore window had me tripping over the doorstep so I could take a closer peek. Trust me, they’re just as cute as they look.

BabyLit
by publisher Gibbs-Smith has been around for a few years (and I’m demanding
answers as to why it has failed to come to my attention until now). I highly
recommending following their blog, which is
updated regularly with new illustrations, totally perfect for a mini “aww!”
moment to perk up your Monday morning.

And an especially special bonus? The line doesn’t just feature books.
Yep, that’s right. You can get cute little Alice
in Wonderland– and Pride and
Prejudice-themed playsets as well as totes,
buttons and prints. Um. Why is my birthday
so far away? Le sigh.
