Salamander Rock

   I've been a little stumped on my research for our next Blueberry Book.  Either Matt Mitter is a very, very discreet person, or he doesn't really exist and the publisher simply concocted a catchy name to throw on the cover.  Regardless, author "Matt Mitter" and illustrator Karen Viola were a great team in creating one of the most eye-catching board books we own- Salamander Rock.  Amphibian enthusiasts delight in a book so lively and spirited the pages seem to jump out at you!  No.  They actually do jump out at you!  It's Salamander-Rock-your-world-o'clock!

A Night Night Prayer

   A Night Night Prayer, written by Amy Parker and illustrated by Marijan Ramljak, is by far the most frequented and most relaxing book we own.  I picked up a copy four years ago in our church's bookstore and we haven't put it down since.  At the time, Little Girl had just entered our lives and, in turn, had just begun to reveal God's miracles.  I had been searching for a board book which presented engaging artwork, a delicate verse, and an introduction to bedtime prayers.  I started reading this book to Little Girl when she was only three months old and she's still interested in it now as I read it to my two-year-old Baby Girl.  This was our first Blueberry Book before I began blogging and would be a perfect "first" in your baby's library.
