Hello Kitty books!!

The holidays are coming up and you know what that means - shopping! Yep, its time to start crossing off names from your gift list.  And what makes a terrific gift - Hello Kitty books!  Say what?!  I'm serious!  Who doesn't love the stylish and chic little girl dubbed, Hello Kitty?  I know that I do.  Of course, I have a preference for Keroppi, but that's more to do with my love of frogs.  Anyhow, it was announced earlier this year that Hello Kitty was not a cat, but was a little girl who owned a cat.  How crazy is that?!  Talk about a revelation for fans of the popular toy - me included! 

Thanks to Quirk Books, we have two fantastic books to choose from:
