Your Body, Your House
Date: January 7, 2008 | Category: Books, Kids
As my kids’ birthdays approach, I plan to do what I have for the last couple of years - which is ask guests for one of their beloved old books. But when my kids go out to birthday parties, I don’t want to risk them getting funny looks from their friends’ families who might think used gifts communicate cheapness. So my kids present My Body, My House and garner nothing but excitement. All children love the excellent artwork, but the message is very grown up and pertinent for all; best is when parents read it to their kids and absorb the message as well. Glossy books may not be the eco-friendliest gift idea, but we think the message in this one might be worth it - but you can circumvent that by getting it used on Amazon.

I love this book! I have given it as a baby gift to so many families having their first babies, and to many as a birthday present, as well.
It sends such a great message, while filling young faces with bright smiles, brought to attention by the great Illustrations inside.
How important it is, to give the gift of knowledge, to people we care about. This book is not just enjoyable, but truly meaningful addition to any home library. A real “must have” for children of all ages.
