Board Books in a Box

Our girls love to read and the sets of board books that come in a box are definitely their favorites. We have the Sesame Street, Disney and Disney Princess sets and we read them all the time. There are 12 books per box and when they come off the shelf Jared and I try to be the first one to escape the room so that we don't have to be the one to read them! They are EXTREMELY condensed versions of their stories. For example, Cinderella is "Cinderella was a gentle, charming girl who loved to dream. Cinderella's stepsisters were cruel to her. Her stepmother was even worse. The King sent an invitation to the royal ball. Cinderella was not allowed to go. But Cinderella's fairy godmother helped. Cinderella and the Prince fell in love at first sight. It was a dream come true!". And this is one of the better books. Ugh.
This particular morning both girls were content to look at books on their own. I was thrilled and had to snap a picture!
