Spring is all about renewal and our friends at DK Canada are celebrating two different types of renewal – the Earth and Babies. Â Two of my favourite things :) I got the chance to try out some of their books and was absolutely in love with the variety and options that their boutiques feature.
Earthly Pleasures Boutique
When Spot the Bird arrived my boys were fascinated by it. Â They tried to pick out birds they knew and birds they had seen at the bird feeder. I love the bright colours, the graphics and the descriptions of characteristics, habitat and food. Â A great educational tool that is fun and informative. Â I can’t wait to see what other birds we can see near our home.
Best for Baby Boutique
While there are no new babies in our home, some of our closest friends are expecting and I cannot wait to share these books with them. Â Annabel Karmel’s First Meals was a favourite of mine when our boys were first learning to eat. Â With fun and create recipes I knew that my boys were getting all of the nutrients they needed and I had great go to recipes.
First Words is a great book for babies to explore. Â With tabs, and flaps there are so many things to discover. Â The bright colours and pictures are attractive to babies and the familiar picture of Sophie the Girraffe is sure to excite any Sophie loving baby!
DK Canada Spring Giveaway

Annabel Karmel’s First Meals would be a great book for me. One of my daughter’s had her first baby this month so I’d love to give her this.
Jonnie says
My son would love the Spot the Bird book. He is really into learning about birds. He would like the bug one too but he would have to use that one with his dad! I love that these books encourage being outdoors and exploring

Momma Kitty says
What a great collection! I love the “Spot the ___” books ~ it’s rare to see that sort of a book geared toward little ones, and with the stickers and the simple details I think they will be a huge hit! We live right across the street from a huge nature area, so I would love to win these for my little one! Thanks for the opportunity!
amber y says
I love that these are books that can keep them busy all summer long hunting birds and bugs! I’m most interested in the SPOT THE BIRD book, but I think the spot the bug book would be an easier one to start with since it’s easier to get up close and personal with a bug to try to identify it.
Darlene W says
Spot the Bird is the book I like the best. What adventures my grandchildren and I could have

I like the fact that the bug and bird books are on the small side, easy for children to hold

I like that DK is so educational, and the spot the bird books
Brianne Hager says
I love everything in the DK Earthly Pleasures Boutique. I’d have them all in my collection if I could, I love educational books. The title that I am most interested to read for myself is The New Self-Sufficient Gardener. For my kids the title that I am most interested in for them is What’s That Rock or Mineral?. My boys are really into rocks right now and that would help them identify them.

I like that DK’s books are educational, have amazing images and are easy to follow. I purchased one of their animal encylopedias as a gift and it went over really well. It is a keeper and I am sure will be used for 10 or 15 years to come. I like Spot the Bird the best!
