Could we see how you store all these books? Thinking over what shelving to look into 😊

I think your kiddos would LOVE C. W. Anderson "Billy and Blaze" series. They might be a challenge to find as they were published in the 30's/40's, but the pencil drawings are incredible!

My son loves those!

The Inspector by George Mendoza is one of my favorite children's books.

You have some great ones there! Many of our favorites! Another author I would recommend is Robert McKloskey; Make Way for Ducklings, Blueberries for Sal, and One Morning in Maine are all lovely.

Yes i second all these as well!

Thank you for this video! I finally carved out time to watch and saved them to my wish list.

Our kids love the Berenstain Bears books (living lights, a faith story version) and how the Bear family serves God and others.

Hey guys! Just ran across your video and love your collection. I, too, went on a little children’s book buying spree this last year. Had to buy two new bookshelves 😆 I don’t think anyone mentioned this one yet, but anything by Leo Lionni is sooo good. “Swimmy” is one of our faves and is all about being brave. The illustrations are so unique and eye catching, too. Highly recommend!

I would love for you to show us how you keep your homeschool books/ supplies minimal 😊

Last one, "Roxaboxen" by Alice McLerran is another one of my kiddos favorites.

My grandma worked at a library and would buy us those little house on the prairie books in the hardcover editions and slowly built our collection till we had most or all of them. The illustrations are such beautiful, soft colors. I accidentally 😉 have a couple of them at my house that I borrowed from my parents and haven’t returned. Edit: I just got “Deep Nutrition” from the library yesterday after hearing you guys recommend it (I got the other one you recommended, as well), and my life is changed and I am totally terrified of what kind of mom I will be someday now that I have this information.

Our kids loved "The Mitten" by Jan Bret. I love her illustrations.

Ohhh all of Jan Bretts are great!

We love the Richard Scarry picture books! We will read a few pages or stories each night before bed. Our favorites are Cars, Trucks, and Things that Go (this one is just for fun!) and 5-Minute Stories (there are fun stories here & also some good moral/behavior lessons).

Wonderful recommendations!! ❤️

All if Patricia Pollaco books are that bang for your buck type of book you mentioned several times. It takes me 10-30 min to read her books depending on the book. She is from Russia and she wrote her books all based on stories from her life. I havent found one we dont love. I just checked all of the ones the library had and we found some new favorites i need to add to our collection. Owl moon is another great one, A coat for Anna are just a few that come to mind.

James Herriot wrote several chapter books as well one called "All things great and small". That show is based on his writing.

Loved this! We have very similar favorite books, and I found some great ideas from your shelves!

Ahh we love Diane Stanley books! All of her books are incredible.

This is great content and you both are adorable. We also use most of these books!

Love children’s books. Try the Obadiah series. You’ll love them! Also Robert McCloskey - One Morning in Maine, Blueberries for Sal…

I love when my kids ask for a book over and over and then repeat they're favorite lines in conversations. Right now the book of choice is the cranky danky dragon by Rachel Jankovic

I love Beatrix potter but I have to tell you that you don't own the stories with her beautiful and magical illustrations. I would say she is an artist first and writer second. Have a look at the originals.

Thank you so much for this! From a family of book lovers!

Iggy Peck Architect is one of our favorites! Very creative! Ada Twist Scientist is another good one by the same author. :)

Really enjoyed this video!! The last two were awesome & interesting! I grew up as a missionary kid & I want my kids to be aware of the world with its different peoples and cultures, and the need for the Gospel. I don't know if you have heard of Operation World, awesome resource to be able to pray for the world & specific needs in the culture. There is a wonderful kid version! It is called Window on the World that I highly recommend.

Snow Globe Family is fun😃 Little Bear, Patricia Polacco books...

Thanks for this video!! We have a lot of these and I can’t wait to add some more from your recommendations. We also love “Finding Winnie” and the original Winnie the Pooh series. 😊

Great ideas, definitely getting some of these! You guys should have a look at some of Alison Lester's children's books, like My Farm and Magic Beach (definitely no magic included, btw!), and Imagine. All about getting out in nature as a family and using your imagination.

Thank you for doing this! I’m building my library for my littles and the depth of the language and beautiful pictures that inspire them is important to me! Do you have recommendations on Bible stories that are accurate and beautifully illustrated? I’ve literally been looking into writing and illustrating my own, because I want them to be accurate and respectful in the imaging.

@@melindakornelsen3218 thank you! I will definitely check it out 🙂

My favorite is The Giving Tree 🌳

The editing of this video is very fun!

One of my favorite all times picture books and my littles love as well is The Donkey Noone Could Ride by Anthony DeStefano

Check out You Are Special by Max Lucado!

I would highly recommend the Tales That Tell the Truth series as well as generally anything from Christian Focus publishing.

Some of our favorites that y'all didn't already mention: Home in the Woods by Eliza Wheeler, A Sick Day for Amos McGee by Phillip and Erin Stead, Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey, and then a couple of really fun & funny books that the kids ask for over and over are Circus Ship by Chris Van Dusen and The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors by Drew Daywalt (and entertaining book and talk about great vocabulary!).

Hey guys I'm sorry this is off topic...I do savor lots of your content lately and am blessed by it! Just saw your meal prep and you wearing the baby while cooking in this carrier and was a bit shocked. I've learned here in Germany never to wear a baby or toddler with it's back towards your body cause it's contrary to his spine which is round and not straight in the beginning and the hips that still develop. The natural position to wear a baby is basically like it is in the womb, like you automatically wear it on your arm (if upright) and as you see newborns draw up their knees when you take them up. To help baby get in this position in a wrap or carrier it needs to face you, plus the fabric between it's legs must be wide enough to support the whole upper leg from knee to knee. Thus the knees will be a bit higher than the butt, versus if it's only just between the legs they will hang down straight, straighten the whole body and spine. Also especially with boys, if the fabric is only between legs, the whole body weight will be on the testicles. Sorry for my English, hope you get it. So it's not just beneficial for babies hip development to wear in an "M" position, it's also just more comfy, plus baby can see mommies face. It's actual the perfect distance of 7,8-11,8" face to face where little ones can focus best. Maybe you wanna look into it, I hope it's helpful. Be blessed!

Elisha cracks me up 😂

Has anyone purchased Lamplighter’s illustrated books? My nephews are only 1, but I anticipate they will get to try them someday soon. We love everything else from Lamplighter!

I really wanted to love Brambly Hedge, but it was a pain to read with my little one. He was so not interested and I even started getting bored with all the details. But then again, I think I'm not a fan of animals personified in stories maybe. I had bought the whole collection. I think the illustrations are too busy and the writing is tiny. I will give it another try. But I love Max Lucado's chikdrens' books. Captain Flinn and the Pirate Dinosaurs by Giles Andreae is a classic. Might be considered twaddle...but so imaginative and super fun.

How are you affording all of these books? Please give some tips on That! Thanks! Love your content!!

Jan Brett for illustrations🥰

Thanks for sharing this! Curious what missionary books you like? We love Eric B Hair kids missionary books.

What missionary books do you read with your kids?

Thank you for this video! I am adding so many of these book titles to my kiddos' library as well. Also, I am interested in purchasing your homeschool course. I tried using the discount code, but it's not working ("invalid coupon"). Could you look into this please?

Have you guys ever heard of 5 in a row? Its a great curriculum. You read the same book 5 days in a row and explore different things about each day.

I don’t use it as a curriculum, but I value their book selections.

I absolutely love listening to your videos and podcasts, but recently I feel like there’s so many more ads on each video that it makes very hard to listen to. I don’t know if there’s a way you could limit the amount of ads, if so, I would recommend cutting down some. Just a thought. I love the content!

I can’t tell if Elisha is joking about the beard.. 😄

What happened to Elisha at 18:52?!

Why get a Beatrix Potter story illustrated by an another illustrator? I assume you know she was an author/illustrator?
