  • 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

Your product recommendations welcome

Just a reminder that you all can feel free to send me product recommendations to add to Barbara's Picks in the left sidebar. Anything that makes your life easier, healthier, safer, more fun or efficient. I can include your write- up too - it can be as simple as this:

We love our Phil and Ted's MeToo High Chair.

It's listed as a travel high chair -- and at just two pounds it does travel easily -- but we use it as our everyday high chair. We bought one seven years ago and it has been in near-constant use since then. Our children have sat in it from ages 4 or 5 months until age 2 1/2 (when the next baby is ready for it!).

The babies especially love being right at the table with parents and siblings. It's great for meals, cooking, crafts, etc. It takes up very little space and cleans pretty easily. The only downside is that it can't be used on glass tables or unsecured pedestal tables.

Looking forward to seeing other readers' product suggestions.

I've seen these fall off tables with kids in them. It could be they were misused...I can't say, since I've never used one myself.
