  • The Little Red Hen
    The Little Red Hen
    Hooray for a good work ethic! The little red hen asks but receives no help in her efforts to put bread on the table. Yet all who wouldn't help would like to eat. In a refreshingly old-fashioned triumph of moral consequences, they don't get to!
  • Noisy Nora
    Noisy Nora
    Poor Nora! The loveable mousette experiences all the pangs of the child-in-the- middle, caught between the demands of baby brother and bossiness of big sister. Catchy meter, playful illustrations make for a wonderfully satisfying mouse's tale. Baby-Preschool

    A Chair for My Mother
    A remarkably beautiful story told by a young girl whose mother is a waitress. Since they lost all their furniture in a fire, they've been saving mother’s tips in a jar – so they can buy a big comfortable chair for their whole family to enjoy – daughter, mother and grandmother. Life has its ups and downs, but there’s always lots of love. Ages 4-7

NBC - National Blasphemy Company

Pam, at The Welcome Home is one of those wonderful cyberfriends I've made - actually I think even before I started blogging myself. She's a mother of 11 with some grown up and some still at home - and a great source for bringing the news you need to know from the places you don't have time to read and serving them up in a way that feels like you're having coffee with her.

Sample today:

Shame on NBC-----------as if the blasphemous "Book of Daniel" wasn't smacking back at Christians, now NBC, whom I must personally refer to as: the National Blasphemy Company, is scheduling an airing of an episode of "Will and Grace" in which Britney Spears will make a guest appearance by playing the role of conservative who hosts on a Christian TV network a cooking segment called "Cruci-fixin's."

As she notes, that the show will run on Maundy Thursday just adds insult to injury.

I like that - National Blasphemy Company. I hope it sticks!

Love,
