  • 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

Dirty Car Art

April sent this - there are a few life lessons/metaphors here, I'm sure - feel free to share the ones you come up with:


 
 THIS is SCOTT WADE. Check out what he does with the dirty cars by carefully and artfully removing portions of the dirt. According to his web site, Dirty Car Art, he lives real close to a dirt road in San Marcos , Texas ....


 

 





 




I'm amazed. I live on a dirt road and so far all my kids have come up with is the standard fare - smiley faces, Wash Me, I Love Mom - and my personal favorite so far: Free Candy.

Can't wait to show them this - we're gonna have to raise the bar around here :)

Love,
