Anyway, here are two books she got last Christmas:
Both books are made of cardboard, just the way I like my children's story books. The Disney Princess Ballerina Beauties book was sooooo girly with all the pinks, the flowers, and the ballet shoes while the Toy Story 3 What A Team book is the exact opposite with action scenes from the Toy Story 3 movie.
The Disney Princess Ballerina Beauties is a book that describes the princesses in their ballerina poses in a sort of sing-song kind of way. Let me make it easy for you by saying that the lines rhyme. It's kinda cool (for me) because the recall is easy and somehow, that one's important for me.
This book is Brianna's favorite as of the moment just because Jessie the Cowgirl is in it. The Toy Story 3: What A Team book crammed a 1-hour, 40+-minute movie into 5 small boxes in 10 cardboard pages. Whoever summarized the movie into this book is one helluva editor. Hands down talaga ako!
I would've loved for Brianna to have received more books than toys last Christmas but that doesn't mean that I am not thankful for all the gifts and blessings that were bestowed on us over the holidays.
Nice choices! Ako naman I was the opposite this year. Last year, all we have our toddler were books, lots of them, and this year, we've been buying books almost every week, so all we bought naman for Christmas were toys.
ReplyDeleteActually that's what happened nga kaya everyone else gave her toys for Christmas. Haha! Strict kasi ako when it comes to toys. :)
DeleteWhen my son celebrated his birthday in school, mostly books ang gift. Last Christmas, more on toys and clothes ang nareceived niya. I also buy books from time to time in Booksale or NBS.
ReplyDeleteBooksale is my heaven. They have a lot of books for both my daughter and me. Talagang one-to-sawa ako dun! :)
DeleteBooks are good gifts. I prefer them over toys too. On my youngest 4th bday, we specifically requested for books or clothings as gift for the celebrant. I got what i wanted, but my celebrant was sad... I guess he wad expecting toys for his bday. I was so in guilt, i had to bring him to sm the next day for toy shopping! Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteI try so hard not to feel guilty about not buying Brianna toys pero pag special occasion, okay lang naman. :)
DeleteI learned that my daughter will appreciate books more when given as random gifts rather than birthday and Christmas presents :)
ReplyDeleteI don't want her to have ill impression on the book at first sight so I stuck to this routine when she turned 5 onwards.
It's nice when kids appreciate actual books, especially now na available na ang e-books.
DeleteOur disney books naman are Mickey and Friends, and cars. These helped him to get interested in reading almost any book you give him.
ReplyDeleteSi Brianna started with Disney Princess books. Now, she appreciates all kinds of books (na may pictures hehe), too!
Deletemy kids love toy story, lalo na yung 3, even ako naiyak nun. I love giving books and workbooks sa mga kids ko. medyo more on reading books muna than gadgets for 2015.
ReplyDeleteNaiyak din ako sa 3 omg! Haha! Yes, more books for 2015 for Brianna, too. :)
DeleteI prefer books din over toys. Andami sobra ng toys and it keeps on piling up tapos kakasawaan. Ang books ndi. :)
ReplyDeleteExactly! After one week, sawa na. :|
DeleteI love books. I always buy my girls since I want them exposed to books as well :) Though this Christmas, most of my girls' gifts are toys and clothes :)
ReplyDeleteMe too! Year-round ang pagbili ko ng books because with all the technology around now, ayokong di niya maexperience to read an actual book.
DeleteMy daughter really loves story telling time. She is really excited when it comes to books. Her favorite these days are anything about Disney Princesses and Goodnight Moon. I am sure the latter will excite your daughter too!

Story telling time is the best, actually, even for me as a mom. :) It's fun to do all the voices of the characters in the book. :)
DeleteWhere can I find a copy of the book, Goodnight Moon, mommy? And who's the author? Would love to check it out. :)
I also love it when my kids receive books. I'm a big book lover and try and encourage my kids to read.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way, too! :)
DeleteI love reading books myself that's why I'm really encouraging my daughters to read. But, at this early, I think they have already outgrown reading fairy tales. They are now more on comic books like BettyArchie's.
ReplyDeleteOh, cool! I love that stage, actually, because Archie comics... LOL. :p
DeleteAwesome books! We love collecting books. I'm sure your kids will enjoy and like it.
ReplyDeleteShe did! :)
Deletereading is a legacy i would love to leave my little man so i make it a point that i get him books from time to time. these are really great gift items! my son enjoys reading about Disney characters, too, Woody + his gang are among his faves!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I've always loved reading and would want to pass that on to my daughter. Also, she LOVES the Toy Story gang as well, she calls herself Jessie. :)
