I’ll have to be honest here…I’ve never heard of Holly Claus before and have definitely never heard the story. I received an email about a website HollyClaus.com and I’ve been checking it out. I plan on having my kids take a look at it too and explore the world of Holly Claus.
So who and what […]

My kids get out of school on Wednesday and they are SO excited! We love the holidays around my house and I was trying to think of some fun things I can do with the kids while they are out of school; not places to go, but things to do around the home like crafts, […]

Happy Easter to all of our Play Library readers. :) Is your Easter finding you bundling up in hats, gloves, and scarves, too? We have snow covered roofs here, though we were running around in shorts and t-shirts at the start of the week. Spring is sooo unpredictable. Hope those eggs […]

I’d forgotten about this book until I was looking for something else tonight and came across it in a search. Then I had to go grab it off of the kids’ book shelf!
My daughter received the book Easter Bugs by David A. Carter from a family friend for her second Easter, I think. […]

I came across The Extra-Thankful Thanksgiving while looking for the Thanksgiving Little People. This is a Little Bill book, the star character of the Nick Jr. cartoon created by Bill Cosby.
Little Bill is one of the few cartoons I still enjoy sitting and watching with my kids. It’s one of a couple kids’ […]

Do you love cooking with your kids? I do, most of the time. But my kids ALWAYS love cooking with me.
So, it helps to have some meals and menus planned with “kid assistance” in mind. Kids’ cookbooks provide great ideas and inspiration.
The Let’s Eat! cookbook from The Pampered Chef is designed with […]

I’ve discovered a new publisher to love in addition to Dorling Kindersley (DK) and Usborne - Egmont Books. Today, we picked up several of these Thomas Learning books, which have wonderful stories and colorful illustrations together with some key graphics to help children learn how to improve their math and reading skills.
I’m also fond […]

Andrea of Picture Me Press kindly left a comment the other day and their personalized books really tickled me. This Picture Me in the Future would be perfect for my son along with the firefighter one (he’s “rescuing” Woody from a “fire” as we speak). I just wish I knew what they looked […]

Courtesy of Dr. Free-Ride at Adventures in Ethics and Science, this week’s children’s book is absolutely disgusting and a hit with her sprog (of course!).
Here’s what the doc says about That’s Disgusting! by Francesco Pittau and Bernadette Gervais.
…this is a book that can open discussions with young’uns about why we find certain things yucky. Indeed, […]

Almost every preschooler gets temper tantrums and at this age, they’re much more manipulative about it too. They know exactly what to say to get our goat. I think we’re in need of an anger management book and When I Feel Angry by Cornelia Maude Spelman, illustrated by Nancy Cote might be the […]
