Our favorite books by the late Maurice Sendak are these volumes in the Nutshell Library.  This set of tiny books was a birthday gift two years ago, (thank you Tavia!), and has obviously been well-loved.  The four stories were written and illustrated by Maurice Sendak in 1962.  Alligators All Around, Pierre, One Was Johnny and Chicken Soup with Rice represent Sendak’s gift for turning few words and detailed drawings into stories that connect and intrigue children.  The size of the books are perfect for tiny hands to hold and slip into pockets.  One of our friends recalls singing the lyrics to the books as a child.  They were put to music by Carole King and she and Sendak worked together on a tv special, seen here.  We miss you Maurice!

We have yet to try flying with both kids.  An upcoming visit to the West coast has me excited and a bit worried about how to entertain two on the road.  So I filled up Ada’s dog backpack with activities and fun stuff for the flight.  (Top secret to her until takeoff).

*Little Packrats bags are adorable and made in the USA.

*Maurice Sendak’s Nutshell Library– four tiny, poetic stories with detailed illustrations.  We traded their cardboard for a softer pouch.

*Organic fruit snacks from Target.  A rubber band keeps them under control in the bag.

*Sticker and magnet books.  Small enough to fit in a child’s backpack.

*Wild Animal Baby Magazine from the National Wildlife Federation.  Ada gets as excited about a new issue in the mail as I do about my magazines.  This one is small enough for little hands.

*A pristine blank book to fill up with drawings, paintings and stickers.

*Clementine art supplies.  They are non-toxic and come in sweet little packages.

*Pipe Cleaners in Brown Bear Colors.

*A Rabbit and a Mouse.

This should get us through the flight with minimal IPod time.
