Picture Book research at Barnes and Noble

Posted on March 7, 2016March 7, 2016 by Christine Alemshah

This past sunday, I was able to get out and do something I haven’t done in quite awhile! I walked into a yummy book-scented Barnes and Noble complete with a cd section ala Blockbuster Music, and headed to read some popular picture books! Of course, whenever I pass anything that might of interest to my little one, I get distracted.

I mean, come on, what 22 month old wouldn’t enjoy a soft barnyard full of chickens, ducks, cows, and pigs? Then again, maybe it delighted me just as much!

I finally made my way to the picture book section, and pulled out these five fun stories — and devoured them! A new Enya song I’d never heard came on for my listening pleasure making the experience even more pleasurable!

This little book, “Shh… we have a plan!” by Chris Haughton made me laugh out loud. The tiniest character on the left — That’s my daughter to a “t.”

I left feeling refreshed, inspired and ready to write my own manuscripts. Being a children’s author certainly has its perks!

    I love visiting B&N w/my little guy! They have a wonderful kid’s section, and they’ve really ramped up their toy section in the last several years.
