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

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

Ugh, I hate that that last video keeps talking about how "hot" she is. Because, we all know that being "hot" is a qualification for VP. I mean, don't get me wrong, i think she is very attractive, but I am much more excited about her policy than her looks!

Barbara,
I can't stop jumping for joy! To Obama: Who's the real visionary of change? So far, Mc Cain's first decision has been a slam dunk!
Senator Mc Cain, thank you!

From what I have seen about her, I think she is very intelligent and compassionate, and it looks like she has her morals in order as evidenced by her five children including her baby boy, Trig, who has Down Syndrome. What an example for the pro-life cause!

I was finally a little more enthused about McCain after the Saddleback forum, and now I am excited!!! Way to go McCain!!

I knew of her from this blog, and when I heard the announcement I immediately knew who she was. I am so excited!!!

WooHoo! Fired up in California!! This is a woman who understands the heart of women in America. Most of the women in politics are disconnected from the roles of "average" mommies. Sarah Palin understands our concerns, our values, our roles and responsibilities and will bring to this ticket a fresh approach to politics.

I'm thrilled with McCain's choice!
