It makes me happy that Kora & Logan are both at an age where they love to learn. They like watching educational kids shows, they always want to go to the library, and they could read books all day. That’s why when I learned about The World Almanac For Kids 2012, I knew it was [...]
Let’s be honest, who’s children couldn’t use a refresher course in manners once in a while. I know mine sure can. I was excited to read Wilson Learns Manners! by award winning artist, Susan Castriota, to my 5 year old. Each page is dedicated to a specific manner which is introduced by Wilson and his doggie friends. Wilson starts [...]

Question: When does a Gila Monster look corn on the cob? Answer: When seen through the eyes of a four-year-old looking at Curious Critters by David FitzSimmons. And I have to admit he is right.

We recently read Scary Schoolwritten by Derek the Ghost and illustrated by Scott M. Fischer. I originally got the book for by 2nd grader. However, she found it a bit difficult to read yet, so we decided to read it together. To my surprise even my 4 year old enjoyed. The book is delightfully funny [...]
The first thing Jules told me about Super Diaper Baby 2: The Invasion of the Potty Snatchers by Dav Pilkey was that it is funnier than the first book in the series. There is not quite as much potty humor since the principal asked George and Harold not to write about poop, however he didn’t [...]
We recently had a chance to review The Adventures of Bella and Harry: Let’s Visit Paris! by Lisa Manzione and illustrated by Kristine Lucco.

We recently had the chance to read Saltwater Taffy a young adult/middle grade fiction book. It is a book written for young but independent readers. It is also very nice read for adults who grew up in the 80’s because the story is similar popular movies such as The Goonies and Stand by Me. The book’s adventure-filled plot starts off fast [...]
At our house we love books. Mackenzie and Emma have so many books we could easily start our own library I’m pretty sure. But of course we always need new books too, and what’s better than new books but new Sesame Street books! Mackenzie has been a Sesame Street fan since she was little and [...]
