misosouper, a shopping blog

Oprah, in all her outsized beneficence, wheels out a carriage full of books as her baby shower gift; here’s my version*, inclusive of the 12 books that have been in constant rotation since my daughter was born.  When shopping for my daughter’s library, these were purchased as much for their illustrations as for their narrative.  Interactivity–see Gallop, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Happy Baby Words, and Where Is Baby’s Belly Button?–is also a huge plus.

*Well, except for the fact that you actually have to buy these books yourselves.  And if you do, please purchase them through these links, which help misosouper play the cheap-ass version of Oprah.
