Little One Books {#12DaysGalore @littleonebooks Sponsor Spotlight}

There are two things in this house that we will not say no to if our children ask, books and music. I truly believe that both of these things help them grow and learn more than most toys out there. And the combination of the two is a perfectly sweet solution to our night time troubles. Little One Books sells both books and CDs geared toward specific ages of children. They carefully review and choose books suitable for children ages birth to 5 years of age and everything in their store is clearly labeled with the appropriate age for the product.

I received Good Night, a CD filled with soft, soothing melodies that even put me to sleep (or in a very relaxed state) after listening for a few minutes. And this CD couldn't have come at a better time. For the past few months my daughter has slept on me or next to me always waking when I put her down or left her side.

So we started to create a routine at bedtime where we would get into our pajamas, read a few books as a family and then break out into our separate bedrooms for some night time snuggles.My daughter and I stay in our room and my son and husband move to my son's room (for more books). That's when I started putting on the Good Night CD to wind her down even more as we do our night time nurse. By the time we get 2-3 songs in she's already passed out and in a deep sleep. And Mommy can get up and do some work before retiring for the night as well.

About Good Night
This music was arranged and produced by Georg Gabler and Felix Pando, and published by Klick Verlag AG, Switzerland.  The executive producer is Tato Gomez, and the concept was developed by Corina Fortmann.

Why it was chosen
Once a baby is born, he or she quickly discovers a world filled with new sensations and experiences. Unlike adults, who depend mostly on seeing, babies rely on hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling. The music featured on Good Night contains flowing and lyrical melodies that will hold your baby's attention. The soothing sounds of the music box, the soft rhythms and distinct melodies, and the beautiful arrangements, will provide a calming environment for your baby.

Little One Books not only sells CDs but books (as the name implies) and videos as well. Each is labeled with the age Little One Books things the product best suites so you always have a great selection to choose from as your child reaches another year milestone. My son's favorite book series right now iare the How Do Dinosaurs books by Jane Yolen. And I'm happy to see that these books fall into the next age range for him (3 years). I also found that there's a video too that we'll be getting him for his birthday (along with How Do Dinosaurs Say Happy Birthday!). 


If you are in need of an awesome gift this holiday season I couldn't recommend Little One Books more! Get a jump start on that list all from the comfort of your home.
