{Reading moment of the week}
This is a Milo one. As of Wednesday he became a big cousin to our gorgeous niece. None of us can wait to give her some snuggles but Milo’s apparently looking forward to “cuddling her on my lap and reading her a story. Probably the moomins, maybe, I think.”
I’d love to know what favourite books you like give as gifts to newborns are. I’ve got some spending to do! Yay!

I wrote a post about a newborn gift, about 3 years ago: http://www.librarymice.com/2009/07/newborn-gift.html
I would always to give “With Love” the anthology edited by Wendy Cooling for Bookstart too.
Ah thanks for the suggestions. I’ve bought her first book bundle: The Baby’s Catalogue by Janet and Allan Ahlberg, Meg on the Moon (Milo loves this book so much and has done for years!) and Where the Wild Things Are. Now planning a second book bundle for her! Might try and hunt down a copy of the With Love anthology as I think it’s now out of print. It’s gorgeous though, and I’ll definitely be adding your idea to the next book bundle! My niece is super cute… and just a day over a week old today! :)
With Love is still available from Book People:
