charley harper abcs and 123s

for christmas, randy and i got madeleine charley harper's abc's board book:
and for her birthday, she got charley harper's 123's:

i have to admit that these were somewhat selfish purchases. his artwork is so beautiful that it makes it much more enjoyable for me to read to madeleine. i think that these will become classics around our house. hopefully, someday madeleine will appreciate the artwork. if you are looking for good books to teach your children their alphabet or numbers, i highly recommend these.
