Cuddle Up With a Classic

 

Nothing fosters a sense of security for a child more than snuggling with his parent.

This winter, add a book to the mix.  After all, cuddling up with a children’s classic is one of the best ways to bond when the weather outside is frightful.

And by classic, I’m talking about stories that transcend time and space.  The ones that kids want read to them over and over again because their melodic words bring a sense of peace and comfort.  Titles like:

Goodnight Moon

Margaret Wise Brown’s sweet tale, featuring a little bunny in striped pajamas saying goodnight to his favorite items, is loved by kids of all ages.  The book’s softly lit green room is serene and relatable, and makes Brown’s gentle prose all the more soothing.

Even more comforting is the fact that your kids can now own a plush version of Goodnight Moon.  HarperCollins has designed a fluffy edition of the book complete with eight soft and cuddly pages.

When your child is done helping bunny say goodnight to the picture of the three little bears sitting in chairs, the clocks, his socks, the mittens, kittens, and, of course, the moon, he can use the book as a mini pillow or simply snuggle up to it as he drifts off to dreamland.

Charlotte’s Web

When it comes to children’s classics, you’d be hard pressed to find a more legendary tale than Charlotte’s Web.

It’s hard to believe six decades have passed since young readers were introduced to a precocious pig named Wilbur, a savvy spider named Charlotte and a host of other outspoken farm animals.  Author E.B. White’s magical storyline that highlights the importance of trust, friendship, and loyalty has withstood the test of time.

In honor of the book’s 60th anniversary, HarperCollins has published a commemorative copy of Charlotte’s Web.  Now, 21st century kids can fall in love with the story’s memorable characters and celebrate the milestone that celebrates one of the most treasured children’s books of all time.  What’s more, Charlotte’s Web provides youngsters with the opportunity to be transported to a magical world and teaches them how to find extraordinary miracles in ordinary events.

Both irresistible books are available at HarperCollins.com and at discount retailers nationwide.
