Books have grown to be a popular commodity in our household. In fact, Jeffrey my dog took a liking to books too. Unfortunately, I don't think he understood the moral of the story.
And reading isn't just on top of our minds. Recently Gweneth Paltrow posted a list of some of her friends' favorite children's books on her site Goop.com and it got us thinking: What are some of our friends' favorite books?

Awesome list!! We just picked up, "Cora cooks Pancit". The girls enjoy it b/c 1) Cora shares the same name as their Lola 2) they love pancit... not as relatable as I would like but works nonetheless!
