  • 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

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.

Hidden Treasure Blog Awards

From Jules at Everday Mommy:

Announcing the First Annual Hidden Treasure Blog Awards . The idea is simple; to recognize blog authors of excellence, with deserving posts which may go unnoticed.

All of us have our favorite blogs, the ones we read faithfully. They are dear friends, like a comfortable pair of shoes, perfectly broken in. But, we can also find ourselves in a rut, reading the same blogs week after week, and overlooking those hidden gems which may require a little more digging. But, as my mom taught me, anything worth having is worth working for.

So, if you're up for an adventure I invite you to join me in a treasure hunt.

Read details at Hidden Treasure Blog Awards.

I hope this doesn't sound presumptuous, but I'd rather not be considered a candidate for this contest since I'm a professional writer. I get enough recognition already. This is for people who haven't yet had the spotlight in the way they deserve.

The person who first comes to my mind - because he's lately produced so much great material that is intelligent and thought-provoking, yet unassuming, down-to-earth and reader friendly (I'm quickly turned off by theological blowhards) - is Dean Abbott who blogs at Inspired by a True Story.

Check him out! And check out the contest!

Love,
