Baby's Got Gear: Barefoot Books Review & Giveaway



We are back for another exciting day in our Baby's Got Gear event! 



About the company: Barefoot Books started in 1992 by two moms who wanted a career where they could make a difference.  For the last 20 years, they have created bright, colorful books for children that combine captivating storytelling and beautiful artwork. Their books also aim to capture imagination, spark curiosity, inspire creativity, and instill a respect for cultural, social, and ecological diversity. Today, they carry books, CDs, games, puppets, puzzles, and more out of their two offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Oxford, UK.


I absolutely adore building Baby Skibbles library with quality learning books that are both fun and educational!  I recently learned about Barefoot Books and got to pick a few titles to add to our girl's rapidly expanding collection.  I was pleasantly surprised to see when the books arrived that they had thrown in a few additional titles. 


What I love about the books I received is that there are some that are bilingual and some even come with a CD for additional learning and fun.  I love the ones with Spanish words on one side and English words on the other.  It's always fun seeing how much Spanish I remember from school 


In additional to some older aged books, we got some classic board books for right now.  The are fun, interesting, colorful and Baby Skibbles loves to look at them.  I always enjoy books that, for me, are fun to read and every book we got from Barefoot Books is that and more. 

The Prince's bedtime is one of my favorites that we received.  Not only is it a great story, but I love that I can use it as a learning tool for teaching about the brand new prince that was just born.  I actually love that she will grow up roughly being the same age as the new prince, as I am roughly the same age as Prince William. 


Bedtime stories for us is about learning and fun and Barefoot Books is making that possible.


Lastly, we just simply adore the motto that Barefoot Books goes by.  They are dedicated to diversity, educational, teaching, and so much more.  I'm so happy to have found this awesome company that is going to grow with our daughter.

  2. I like the book Stories from the Silk Road. It would be great to read with my granddaughter who is eight. I am teaching her about fabrics, including silk. I homeschooled her for one year and try to stimulate whatever adventures I can.

  5. I'm a public librarian and have been purchasing Barefoot Books for children's library collections for many years. They're wonderful! We'll have a baby boy in February! So far we've only bought board books, but I'm excited to keep building! I would purchase Counting Cockatoos (board book), I Wish I Were a Pilot (board book), Barefoot Books World Atlas, and If You're Happy and You Know it!
