A is for Atticus by Lorilee Craker
“A is for Atticus” is a fun book, as far as baby naming books go. Craker provides background and entertaining commentary on each and every name. Her personality really shone through – not something I would expect in a baby name book. I must say, I grew a little bored while reading the boy names, though. I just didn’t think that the boy names she had were nearly as appealing as the girl names.
This would be a great book to give to a literary-minded expectant couple, particularly as it isn’t just a boring list fo names and perhaps meanings.
I won this book during Book Blogger Appreciation Week, although I didn’t know that until it showed up in the mail the same day as another book I won during BBAW, both coming from Hatchette. I guessed that perhaps that was the origin of this book and Amy was able to confirm it. What was funny is that this book showed up the same morning that my husband and I found out we would need a book like this, mere hours after we found out, actually.
Buy “A is for Atticus” on Amazon.

i like how you just casually slip that very BIG piece of news in there…i’m sure your comment section will be bursting with congrats very soon…i’m also sure that the book blogging community will have much more appropriate and genteel responses than my “what happened, did you miss a pill?!”…clearly, i’m still terrified of babies, but i’m super excited for you b/c you will be a fabulous mommy with fabulous eric carle baby clothes and your baby will have a very clever literary name and a very spoiltastic grandma…yes, life for this baby will be good…

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can I be a little more excited? I have to admit that I saw the first part of this post and didn’t finish reading it because we don’t need a baby naming book. But then some people on Twitter were talking about it and I was so scared I missed something! I had to ask where you made this announcement because I usually don’t miss your posts. But you’re sneaky. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats, congrats! When are you due?

I’m due June 10th. My husband is a teacher, so we wanted a summer baby.

Congratulations! And, I must say that your ability to time such things is inspiring.
