This giveaway is now closed with 175 comments. Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ Stephanie!
We do a lot of reading here at home. My children have a ton of books and we always find the time to read to each other during the week. Not only is reading beneficial to children, but it also provides wonderful bonding time for families.
I would like to introduce you to a book that both of my kids adore - Opus and the Red Chair. My family loves the story, the inviting illustrations and the message behind this lovely book. Here is a bit more about it from their website:
"Animal lovers Alice Howard Koesterich and internationally award-winning illustrator Sara Kahn team up together to bring readers a dog’s view of moving in Opus and the Red Chair.
This children's book addresses the stress of moving through the eyes of Opus the golden retriever. Happily living in Boston, Opus is faced with the disruption of boxes, taxis, and a long plane ride taking him away from the things he loves the most - his football, pizza and his red chair. All of his routine creature comforts are packed away on a large truck and he is left in an empty house. Opus and the Red Chair is the perfect gift to give to any child experiencing an upcoming move.
Pet lovers, children and parents will enjoy reading and relating to this book. They can also feel comforted that the profits of Opus and the Red Chair will benefit the not-for-profit Animal Cancer Foundation."
This book has quickly become a favorite in my home. I love finding a book that is meaningful, loving and fun. If you know anyone making a move anytime soon, this book is a beautiful way to help ease the transition for any young child. This book provides a warm fuzzy feeling and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good read for your children. Who wouldn't love a pizza loving golden retriever?!
