Me, too!

So I’d like to share with you some of my favorite children’s books. The ones that have taken me on grand adventures and left me wanting MORE!

And I know just where to start—in Narnia!

The Chronicles of Naria

When I was a young cart, my fourth-grade teacher introduced me to a lion named Aslan and a magical wardrobe.

C.S. Lewis weaves a page-turning tale of the fictional realm of Narnia filled with mythical beasts and talking animals.

The Chronicles of Narnia consists of seven books and spans the entire history of Narnia, from its creation to eventual destruction.

I spent hours devouring these books as a child and rediscovered them 25 years later as an adult to find they still held the same power over me as they once had.

Those Darn Squirrels!

This book is so much fun!

Written by Adam Rubin and illustrated by Daniel Salmieri (the creators of Dragons Love Tacos), this is a story of what happens when a grumpy old man and some mischievous squirrels match wits.

The storyline and artwork are stellar, engaging carts as they turn the pages to find at the end…wait, you didn’t think I’d give away the ending, did you? Silly cart!

Check out this book and anything else these two gifted artists create!

My Final Recommendations

My last recommendations come with full disclosure – It is straight-up a plug for a very talented author I know.

These two books are part of a trilogy (book three coming 2021) and are strictly meant for Young Adult / College Age carts.

Check ‘em out!
