My son and I love reading together, so we’re always on the lookout for new material. Whether it be funny or educational, or a bit of both, with our regular trips to the library or the bookstores (both used and new), there’s never a shortage for something new to read. We recently discovered The Mighty [...]
We love books. All of us. Board books for the baby, all sorts of books for my six-year-old and me … well, non-fiction, the occasional chick-lit, business and marketing, biographies and food books. I’m sort of all over the place. Recently, we discovered a new-to-us baby book for Madeline… Ten [...]

My 8-month-old daughter has been amassing a nice little collection of board books lately. With her six-year-old brother learning how to read, the board books are actually doing double-duty, providing her with a story and him reading practice. Tonight? It was Go Baby!
The GOOD: The babies pictured throughout the book were from all over the [...]
My six-year-old son and I are in the midst of our own book reading challenge, working our way through 100 books by Christmas. When the folks at Tricycle Press (an imprint of Ten Speed Press) sent us a copy of Yesterday I Had the Blues, we were excited to add another book to our [...]
