Sandra Magsamen Books – Let’s Hear it for the Boys! {Review & Giveaway #4}
Sandra Magsamen has done it again with two new additions to her award winning Snuggle-Me Stories series. My Little Monkey and Little Bear Hugs would make a fabulous gift for any little one. They feature a small fleece blanket with an attached plush monkey and teddy bear to cuddle as you read this wonderfully sweet rhyming story. The illustrations are bright and fun and since they are board books your baby will be able to help turn the pages.
My 18 month old son Warren loves books but his attention span is still very short. He loves books that allow him to interact and those that rhyme but are still a quick read. Both of these books were perfect for that but he liked My Little Monkey the best. It is a new word for him and he enjoys saying monkey along with imitating the sounds so it wasn’t a surprise to me. I like how light they are even though they are board books. It makes for easier portability and hurts a little less when he decides to drop it on my foot. 
Sandra Magsamen is an artist, mom, author of Living Artfully and creator of the Messages From the Heart brand. She designs gifts and ideas that encourage us to live with heart. Sandra Magsamen lives artfully with her family in the Maryland town in which she grew up.
