Have you been introduced to Jack and Annie and their Magic Tree House? The Magic Tree House series, written by Mary Pope Osborne, is one that my daughter was introduced to last year. The series follows Jack and Annie, siblings, who find themselves on a variety of adventures through different times and destinations, […]
Bald Man wrote a bit about this book a few months back, and then my kids found it at the library. The oldest thought the cover was hilarious and had to bring it home.
Where Did Daddy’s Hair Go? by Joe O’Connor, illustrated by Henry Payne, shares a fun story of little Jeremiah and […]
We were back to the library today for storytime and were introduced to a fun book entitled If You’re Happy And You Know It: The Jungle Edition. You can probably get the gist of the storyline, but there are “jungle specific” indicators of happiness throughout the book for parents and kids to exhibit together. […]
There aren’t many stories read at the library’s storytime that get me to say, “No way!” Okay, so I didn’t actually say it out loud, but I was thinking it! That happened at the very beginning of the book Yard Sale!, written and illustrated by Mitra Modarressi. The line, specifically, was, “One […]
I’ve never been good at falling right to sleep. I was going to say that I’ve never been a good sleeper, but that would be entirely untrue. Once I’m asleep, I think I could sleep for days. The falling asleep, however, has never come easy for me. My sister and Bald […]
I love fun books that encourage a little silliness when they’re being read, and this is one of those fun books!

My daughter’s been enjoying her copy of The Seven Continents of the World Jigsaw Book.
The book contains colorful illustrations of each of the seven continents of the world (but you could’ve figured that out now, couldn’t you? :P ). Each of the 7 puzzles is made up of 48 pieces, and the images include […]
Tomorrow, Char at Weary Parent is going to be hosting an Education-themed carnival for b5media’s Family and Relationships Channel blogs. As usual, I’m trying to get my assignment in before the deadline has passed and I get points deducted for tardiness! :P
A lot of toys these days are marketed as “educational” and such, but […]
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. […]
Hsien mentioned the trend towards Easter baskets being filled with toys and asked what others put in their children’s baskets.
Since our oldest celebrated her first Easter, our tradition has been to include a book with the basket, which is filled with a small chocolate bunny and just a few other candies.
The books have always had […]
