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

Caps for Sale

Be dramatic! Shake your fists! Stomp your feet! You and your toddler will have so much fun with this wonderful story, in which common sense prevails over temper tantrums! 3-7

Care.com free weekend of access 11/6-8: register for special needs, senior care, pet care

Many of you will want to check this out this weekend - free access through Sunday!

I Dear Barbara,
I wanted to let you know that this coming weekend (November 6-8), we're going to open up Care.com for a Free Weekend of access. This is only the second time we've ever done this, and we're doing it to raise awareness for National Family Caregiver Month while giving families the chance to meet great, local care providers and screen lists of backup caregivers.
During the coming Free Weekend, all visitors to Care.com will get to experience the benefits of a premium membership to our service. Families can see full profiles for nearby care providers, contact them directly to set up interviews, check references, and request background checks for free!

I thought you'd be interested in a little advance notice of the Care.com Free Weekend. I'd love to have you check out Care.com and see the great babysitters, nannies, senior caregivers, special needs care providers, tutors, pet sitters, and housekeepers we have on our service!

If you have any questions, just let me know! I'd be happy to help.

Thanks for your time,

Cheers,

The Care.com Team
P.S.
The Care Hero Contest is still running, and will be up on our Facebook
page until the end of the month. Thanks!
