Here’s a novel idea – for those nap times that little Johnny just won’t go down for a nap, how about having Winnie the Pooh read him a story? Try the upcoming release called The House at Pooh Corner by AA Milne. A friend was telling me that her three year old is not napping [...]

Mo Willems and the Naked Mole Rats
Posted on15. Sep, 2009 by Kate.
Now this is a book I can really get behind. Mo Willems has such a way with children’s literature and his latest book is no different. Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed is a delight to read for both parents and kids. Wilbur, a Naked Mole Rat, is unlike the rest of his colony in that [...]

Posted on27. Jan, 2009 by Kate.
