More Than Just a Story

I Love Andrea Beaty!

Book 1 of 40
Back to where it all began with Happy Birthday Madame Chapeau! My tots still adore this book, and I'd love to revisit it with them. The illustrations are beautiful with so many details to discuss, the rhythm is entrancing, and the story is heart-warming. Andrea Beaty hasn't missed on a book I've seen from her yet including Madame Chapeau, Rosie Revere Engineer, and Iggy Peck Architect. I'm anticipating her next book due out in September 2016, Ada Twist Scientist. I'll be getting that one on pre-order!














Have you read her books? Which one is your favorite?
