There are a lot of kid’s books out there, and trying to limit them down is tough! Whether you are looking for books for your own children or to give to someone else, I’ve got a suggestion for you! The "If You Were…" book series by Deborah Lemon!
I’ve read the "If My Dad Were A Daddy Longlegs" and the "If My mom Were An Octopus" of the "If You Were…" series and they are truly great! These books are based on the well-loved children’s book series "If You Were…", they are interactive stories that are fun and educational for parents and toddlers alike!
These stories are easy reads that your child can read along in no time! They include great beginner words and are simple to follow. The story line is charming and clever and the watercolor illustrations by Carolyn Intemann are bright and fun!
Beyond a cute tale and pretty drawings, these books have take-home life lessons too! They teach children traits like patience, doing task themselves and understanding. In a loving way, the books convey the message that parents want to meet their kids’ needs but they can’t do it "all at the same time."
Busy mom and author Deborah Lemon has spent the last eight years creating beloved characters for her If You Were children’s books. She has created fun characters like Harry the Daddy Longlegs, Bella the Wonder Dog, Grandpa Carl the Crab, among many others. A fun note is the illustrations are done by Deborah’s sister, Carolyn Intemann!
