    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!

    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

Good Morning - from Singing in the Rain

They just don't make movies like this anymore. If you haven't seen Singing in the Rain, you definitely need to now - and watch it with your kids for even more fun. At your local library - or another reason for joining Netflix, a Christmas gift that will keep on giving all year:

One of the best movies of all time, and such a part of our family heritage, that I sing this when I wake the kids up in the morning :)

Love,

We own this one, too, but we've had it so long that it is on video.

We really do LOVE this movie.

We all really like the scene where Debbie, Danny, & Gene step up on the sofa, turning it over while they are dancing. We watched this just recently and since our copy is on video, we hit rewind and watched them do this, in reverse. We did this over and over, sometimes laughing and other times marveling at these dancers' technical skills.

Even my very athletic, but well-rounded, 13 yr. old son likes it.

This is such a fun, classic to watch and own.
