Reading Books: Pretty Covers Library Finds
You know the saying “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover”. We definitely picked these books based on their covers. And just about every single one of these books from our latest library haul have been repeated requests by Fox and Mountain Goat. You stare at shelves and shelves of picture books. Sometimes, you get […]
Online Books: Socks on Socks
We spend so much time online! So why not create online books for kids for you all. This one is Fox’s brainchild and we had a blast filming it. That is, until she started suggesting things like fairies on fairies and I had no idea how we were going to find any around here. Do […]

Reading Books: Adventure Library Finds

Best Kids Books For The Car
Car rides are like attempting most things with children. Sometimes it’s a wonderful time, all happily singing along to some silly song. And other times, there’s screaming and throwing food. We’ve found a number of CD’s that we regularly pop into the player in the car to help entertain. The best thing about this selection […]
Kids Books Online: Introducing “Read Aloud”
I remember one of the times I was sick. I lost my voice and Fox was enchanted with “Are You My Mother”, wanting to read it over and over again. I tried to explain that I couldn’t read, but even the words needed for an explanation were hard to get from a wispy voice. She […]
