    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

Ben Stein's Expelled - 10 winners!

Sorry, I'm a little late at actually getting to the winners - who were supposed to be announced yesterday.

But Tripp and I held the grand drawing today. You can see he's getting better. He's still in a hospital bed in a corner of our bedroom and has a couple visiting nurses - but he drove himself to the doctor today and is talking about going back to work for half a day Friday. We'll see. . . . .

Anyway, I printed out the 112 comments. Tripp cut them apart, mixed them up, and drew them, fair and square:

Barbara,

I know you're a Netflix subscriber, or have been. You may not have noticed, but Expelled is actually available to nearly all Netflix subscribers via instant streaming to their PC. Which means you don't even need to buy (or rent) a copy of it to watch!

Tripp, I like the beard! Still praying for your complete recovery.

I watched Expelled last night. It was really good but really ticked me off. It is amazing that someone can believe we come from nothingness but that to believe we actually came from a higher power is idiotic.

I cried when I saw Ben at the place where they murdered "lower class" people (disabled). My mind simply can not grasp hatred at that level.

Oh, hooray! I haven't had a chance to visit your site in the past few days, so thank you for the email!

I'm looking forward to watching it. Thank you so much!
