WE LOVE: STUCK

/
What is there not to like about this book? The illustrations are perfectly done and the story is hilarious and crazy - so again, perfect. This is our first Oliver Jeffers book and we can't wait to get more! Stuck is a quirky little book about a boy who get's his kite stuck in a tree and decides to throw random items up into the tree to knock the kite down. As you can imagine, more and more things get stuck in the tree and the items he throws in the tree get more and more ridiculous. It's a sure hit for both kiddos and parents. We love it!

WE LOVE: KEEP

/
We got Elliott his first pair of Keep shoes a few years ago and before we had them, I loved the way they looked and I especially loved the bright green soles. Once he started wearing them, we decided they were officially awesome. Comfortable, sturdy and of course, stylish. Last year, for Preston's birthday I decided that he needed a pair too. He wears them almost every day and still raves about how comfortable they are and how they keep (pun intended!) really well, he's pretty hard on shoes, but I'm not one to talk! I would love to have some of my own... this pair would do just fine.

WE LOVE: BILIBO

/
We gave Elliott a Bilibo for Christmas, and at first he didn't take to it like I hoped he would. But over time he has become more and more interested and has used it as a book container, a bath for his toys, puts it on his back and pretends to be a turtle, but usually he sits in it and spins himself around. We recently bought another one for friends to play with when they come over. It was becoming an issue. I've heard the Bilibo called "the cardboard box of the 21st century" and at first I was skeptical. Cardboard boxes are pretty rad. But we do love the Bilibo! It's awesome for Elliott's imagination and I love that it doubles as a toy and as toy storage!
