Hi everyone! So when we found out that I was pregnant with my daughter a couple years ago I was determined to make a quiet book for her. I started when I was pregnant and then I got super discouraged because well first I'd never attempted anything like this before and my sewing skills are minimal and I was trying to make it super detailed and follow specific instructions... yada yada yada. Anyway, it took me about a year stopping and starting to finish this project but once I discovered that I did really well when I just sewed it together and added things my own way, this book just flew together. It definitely isn't the most professional looking quiet book but Addy loves it and it makes me happy to see her playing with it so often. After I finished this one I decided that I wanted to make a second one (since I had a little better idea of what I was doing) that would be more for church. I'll post that one next.
This page is based on a stories that my Dad use to tell to me and my brother and sister every night when we were little. The writing on the left side is how the stories always started and that brown pocket is where a pig puppet usually goes (it's M.I.A. right now, my little munchkin isn't sure where she left it).
If You Chance to Meet a Frown page- the mouth snaps on and off to make happy and frowny faces.
3 Little Speckled Frogs page-Lyrics are on the side with number beads. Frogs are attached to ribbons and can reach the bugs flying and then jump into the "pool where it's nice and cool"- the blue pocket at the bottom of the page.
Monster Dress Up page- The monster bodies are in the big square pocket, the monster faces are in the small square pocket and then outfits are in the other 2 pockets. The monsters Velcro onto the monster outline on the right page and the outfits Velcro onto the monsters.
Tan Shoes with Pink Shoelaces page- I don't know if many people know this song, but my mom use to sing the Tan Shoes with Pink Shoelaces song to me at night sometimes and it was one of my favorites. The flowers button on and off and can go on different buttons and of course you can tie the shoe!
The Very Hungry Caterpillar page- The pocket holds the food and the food can go in through the caterpillars mouth and into his belly. The flap on his belly lifts and you can see the food inside.
The End :)
