Recs if you like Sylvester and the Magic Pebble...

Here you’ll find a multitude of children’s books featured in the 1998 film You’ve Got Mail, which, if you’re unfamiliar, heavily features a children’s bookstore called The Shop Around the Corner. Nothing brings me joy quite like children’s literature and 90s nostalgia, so I have painstakingly studied the shelves featured in the film to bring this list to life. I hope that at least one book here unlocks a nostalgic memory for you, or at least conjures a smile of recognition.

Donkeys are such beautiful and underrated creatures, and I love them!

I’ve had a passion for donkeys and donkey rescue and rehab since I was 14, and I wish more people knew about them. I have a donkey collection and want to add more books to that, so maybe this will help me find some good ones!

I will include children’s books, fiction, and nonfiction but I’m probably going to leave care guides out.

According to the ALA, "The Caldecott Medal was named in honor of nineteenth-century English illustrator Randolph Caldecott. It is awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children."

Here’s is a list of the most beloved and distinguished children’s picture books that have won the Caldecott Gold and Honor Awards, that was first awarded over 80 years ago 1938. All of them have such beautiful and unique illustrations and unforgettable stories that any book lover, young or old, will enjoy.

There are so many wonderful books for kids. This list includes a few of mine. Enjoy!
