Today I was shopping at Kohl's and saw that they were offering one of their "Kohl's Cares" fundraising programs that are designed to support community health and education programs for children. The particular book featured was Eric Carle's Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? and all of the net profits of purchasing this book for just $5.00 will go directly to deserving children in needy communities nationwide. I couldn't resist purchasing this book because, in addition to supporting such an important cause, our family holds so many happy memories attached to reading this book together. Olivia, Bianca and Sophia were all fans of this adorable, colorful story that they would each eventually memorize, convinced that they were actually reading! Eric Carle in an incredible artist and Sophia and I were lucky enough to take a day trip to visit his museum out in western MA, which was like entering the pages of his storybooks. We have saved our Brown Bear book, as well a few other early childhood favorite reads that will hopefully someday resurface to read to grandchildren! In the meantime, I plan to give this new copy to a dear friend who is expecting her first baby in August. This is the perfect book to start her nursery library.
