I hope tons of parents are out there reading picture books to their babies. And how nice for Lucia that her grandma has written such a beautiful book!Kate Coombshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10138566291199003171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144605744535591088.post-17141705581107358422010-03-25T13:43:40.851-07:002010-03-25T13:43:40.851-07:00Hi Kate, great blog and great entry!

I am the daughter of Barbara Joosse (author of Higgledy Piggledy Chicks and lots of other great stories) and I wanted to note that HPC is a wonderful book for younger infants too. My daughter Lucia is 10 months old, and this book has been in her three favorites (along with Wild Things and The Day the Babies Crawled Away) for several months now. I promise this is an unbiased report -- I couldn't dictate her favorites if I tried. She loves the sounds and the drama, she rubs the illustrations of the eggs waiting for them to hatch, she turns her face away from the pages at the peak danger moments and turns back when it's safe. From her extensive library she chooses Higgledy Piggledy Chicks again and again, and she's not even old enough to know that her grandma wrote it!maaikehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12101903820991535871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144605744535591088.post-53611092805052794792010-03-20T22:48:41.255-07:002010-03-20T22:48:41.255-07:00Becky--I find myself going clear back to that clas...Becky--I find myself going clear back to that classic, The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes, by Dubose Heyward and Marjorie Flack.
