One thing we don’t cover a lot of at Play Library is video games. Mostly it’s because our kids are too young for bona fide games on the Play Station, XBox, Wii, or what have you (I do know my consoles because my husband is an avid gamer), but also because we’re not as in […]
I’ve realized that, since I started writing here at Play Library, I’m more apt to take notice of toy makers and the company names of kid-related products.

Julie Moran Alterio of the The Journal News has reviewed other types of lapware […]
I love VeggieTales. And, I have to admit, I was not introduced to them after my children were born. No, I’ve known Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber longer than I’ve known my own children.
Big Idea Productions started releasing these videos of computer animated vegetables when my husband and I were in […]

Business Week Online has published an article questioning the longevity of Barbie as an American toy icon:
Sales for the iconic Barbie fell 1% worldwide, the 11th consecutive quarter of decline for the franchise. Indeed, it’s a worrying sign that kids like Katayan are starting to eschew Barbie for other, more interactive toys.
