Hello moms! 

 

I have already done a pregnancy activity work book series posts under the #mommylogy .
With the brand new video upload feature of our babychakra app I would like to start another similar series but with videos on this amazing book for new moms. 
CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL NEW MOMS. 
This book is a collection of short personal experiences of new moms around the world curated with a touch of humour and empathy for a new mom. It has slices of mommyhood dipped in all its reality in each anecdote. 
It is a worthy read during pregnancy when the focus is short. You can simply doze off anywhere or put down the book for a quick pee or puke; No need to ear mark or dog ear your pages; just start off from anywhere and you will be entertained as well as touched. It can also be a very thoughtful gift for a new expecting mommy on her baby shower as she still has a few days in her hand before the roller coaster ride begins and most probably she is already busy nesting and preparing for the upcoming ride. This book will keep her light hearted as well as provide her with the glimpses of her near future where she can imagine herself in similar situations a depicted in the short stories.
I will try to do weekly videos with only the smallest stories, exclusively for all the preggie moms. So that even if you don't want to read the book while being pregnant, you can simply listen and enjoy. 
Please let me know in the comments if I should do this or not and also do share your experience if you have already laid your hands on this book. #chickensoupforthesoul  
Actually Chicken soup for the soul is a famous series of books on various aspects of life and relationships. All the books of this series are a collection of light hearted incidents events or personal experiences with an extra serving of love humor empathy and emotions. My personal favourites are the three parts on teenage soul, the new mom soul and the daughter's soul  #newmom

He love lifting the flaps to discover the animals the zoo has sent—a monkey, a lion, and even an elephant! Atlast till they ever find the perfect pet? 

The book comes with bright, bold artwork, a catchy refrain, and a whole host of favorite animals, Dear Zoo is a must for every child’s bookshelf.

Dhanvin, as soon as he open up the 1st page he holds the elephant soft toy to match with elephant pic in the frame.Awww with the trumpet sound tooo.

Then he turns to 3rd page having lion in a cage,he took lion toy and roar like a lion...

I'm sure everyone has had a copy of "The Very Hungry Catterpillar" by Eric Carle for their kids at some point. We went a step further to include the finger puppet book apart from the big board book version. 😊

.

The graphics and design of this book is just so so spectacular that it instantly catches your little one's attention. These were the very first books that we added to our library. The finger puppet gives a little extra dramatization and adds life to the storytelling. With very bright and sprightly pictures the story illustrates the lifecycle of a Caterpillar starting from hatching from an egg to turning into a handsome butterfly. With a simple and easy to follow storyline, the books also suggests early introduction of counting and days of the week, and can be read to little readers as early as 6 months of age.

.

These books have forever been Shaarav's favourites and even when he has added several other books to his collection he still comes up to me with this book every now and then.

These days Shaarav is obsessed with Elephant. We have been hearing "Haathi Raja kahan chale" and "Ek mota haathi jhoom ke chala" on loop mode. We have even been made requests to show him Elephant videos on YouTube. And we also have the cutest pretend Elephant roaming around trumpeting in the whole house 😜🤦🏻‍♀️.

.

So we finally got our very first @tulikabooks and we had to pick "Gajapati Kulapati".

.

Now this story book has been a delight to read to my already Elephant obsessed toddler. And this story about this very big but very kind friendly-next-door elephant has been an instant hit.

.

It's a funny story of an elephant who gets a cold and end up hurting his friends for which he gets upset and hides away. A very easy to grasp storyline, concept of big and small, different professions, neighbours helping each other with vivid illustration makes it a fun read. We have been "Aaaaachhhhhoooo"-ing this whole time. 😅😅😁

.

Shaarav also had a bad cold recently so he could relate to the story very well. He has also been aggressive these days and this book has taught him to be gentle and kind. And knowing that someone as big as an Elephant can also be big and kind and gentle at the same time has been very very helpful in keeping his aggression in check.

.

There are three books in the series and we have got all three. Thanks to the discount @tulikabooks were running for their 23rd anniversary. Will be posting about the other two soon.
