  • 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

Life before "So You Think You Can Dance"

Tripp sent me this one Monday morning to start my week:

How lovely. No T&A. No angst. No aggressive sexuality. No crazy woman/judge screaming about the Hot Tamal Train or her botox injections :)

So cool. So smooth. So classy.

Love,

I can't even walk in heels, let alone tapdance, backwards.

Thank you for the lift!

Thanks for posting this! My daughter loves to dance (she's five) and she and my son watched this twice. :)

Oh, they make those turns look so light and easy! As a former Arthur Murray instructor, let me tell you they're anything but! Thanks for the quick lift.

WOW! As a former dancer, I only wish I could have had the ability to dance like that. They were simply amazing performers.

Thanks for sharing this!

I like how almost the whole dance was one shot, and that they kept the camera on the whole body instead of cutting to close-up shots of their faces or feet. I just think it's prettier to see the whole effect.
