Flat Stanley is coming!
January 14, 2009
Ever heard of Flat Stanley ? I hadn't until recently, but now I'm hooked. Flat Stanley is the main character in a series of books authored by Jeff Brown. The first was published in 1964, and the books tell the story of Stanley's adventures after becoming "flat". Just how he becomes flat is a story unto itself.

Five great Seattle story times.
November 11, 2008
I'm sure you've heard it before, but I'll say it again. Reading is fundamental. Reading to your child is one of the easiest and best ways to help them get excited about language and learning.

Seattle loses part of its childhood.
September 15, 2008
I was lucky to have visited Seattle's only remaining children's bookstore, All for Kids Books and Music, a handful of time over the past few years. The bookstore had a rich history of survival, even after the Barnes and Noble moved in near the shop at University Village. It relocated to a larger more visible location where it kept providing insights into the best children's literature Read more...

July 02, 2008
With the kids out of school for summer, it's the perfect time for travel. However, just like the high price of gas has upped the cost of most everything we purchase, it has also affected the airline industry.

Reading, it's what's for dinner . (I hope you get the joke.)

Enriching materials for you and your preschooler.
May 21, 2008
My son, Bubba, is a voracious learner. He enjoys the interaction, reward and fun of learning. The downside to this is that for him, boredom often rears its ugly head in the form of behavior issues. He's bored; so why not hit his sister? I've found that I can head off these types of situations if I am able to redirect him and one of the best ways I have found to do that is workbooks.
