Refreshingly Unique Books by Barefoot Books for Babies and Kids

safbaby | February 20, 2009 | 1 Comment

Barefoot Books is an award-winning, independent publishing company for children’s books with a magical gift for stimulating imagination and a love for reading.

Their books truly are different from other books typically found at book stores. We love the creative, colorful and whimsical illustrations and the playful rhythm to each story.

Our daughter’s favorite 2 Barefoot Books are Bear On A Bike, and The Animal Boogie!

Just today my daughter (2.5 years old) was happily finishing my sentences as I read Bear On A Bike.

She asks for this book almost each reading session, and I have not even gotten tired of it yet.  (Yeah!  Sometime I think finding a good toddler’s book is as important for me as it is for her.) There are so many wonderful illustrations, we seem to find new things in the book each day!

“Bear on a bike, As happy as can be, Where are you going, bear? Please wait for me!” (I can hear my daughter speaking these words even as I write this review!)

A Closer Look At Barefoot Books for Kids

BEAR ON A BIKE transports young readers around the world by bike, train, raft, boat and even hot-air balloon, with a special night-time journey at the end. As you cycle through the market, sail to an island and fly over the rainbow, you will discover marvelous creatures and see many wondrous sights.

The details on each page are so appealing and really draws us in.  (We love this feature about these books!)

Our daughters like to join in the fun, laughing along the way at the illustrations such as ‘the cat with the funny tail’ and counting hidden bumble bees!

THE ANIMAL BOOGIE: Shake, shimmy and boggie-woogie-oogie with the creatures of the Indian jungle! Enjoy a tale that is bright and fun, wacky and exotic!

I usually pick this book when my daughter is cranky, bored and needs a quick pick up. It always works! She loves to imitate all the animals and she’s usually in a great mood after we finish the book. So, this is a great one to have for any toddler!

Great Books For Babies 0-12 Months

We believe these 2 books are must haves for Babies 0-12 months young.  Both books have illustrations that make you dream of grandma  freshly stitching each page.  Very uniquely done, and so unique they will stay around for many years to come.

Mrs. Moon

MRS. MOON encourages the sharing of music, song and rhyme a beautiful collection of over twenty lullabies.

The book comes with a soothing Music CD (2-in-One) featuring a gentle accompaniment for each lullaby and the combination of both old and new lullabies makes this a wonderful bedtime routine that is fun to follow.

Baby’s First Book

BABY’S FIRST BOOK is the perfect book to introduce them to their first letters, numbers, and shapes!

Enter the enchanting world of rhymes, everyday scenes and simple details that make a baby’s first months so special are captured in these pages.  Whimsical, playful and full of surprises, this book will build lasting bonds—between babies and their caregivers, and babies and books!

We’ve browsed through the many Barefoot Books for children all ages online and we are looking forward to reading our children these inspiring books, exploring other cultures from all over the world.

We also discovered some great tips on Barefoot Books’ website on “Learn & Explore” – “Discover the power of art” and “Encourage dramatic play”.

May you enjoy this sweet bonding time of imagination and learning with your little ones too!
