18 When Did Your Kids Attend Their First Concert?
We're all about exposing kids to fine arts, but is opera asking a bit too much? Not according to Growing Through Arts, a company founded by former pro dancer and Harvard grad Aleksandra Efimova, which creates educational children's books and toys. The company just launched its second series of books (the first focused on ballet), breaking down some seriously highbrow stuff for kids ages 2 to 6. Read more
Don't throw that away! It's never too early for parents of aspiring eco-tots to start teaching their kids about the importance of the three R's: reduce, reuse, and recycle. It doesn't have to be a scary or upsetting issue — no need to have that sad, sad commercial of a baby polar bear stranded on a detached glacier playing on repeat — but there's nothing wrong with stressing the valuable role Read more
If you're a bibliophile, chances are you're eager to move on from Goodnight Moon and Pat the Bunny to meatier fare. I love Eric Carle's books, but we recently added Have You Seen My Cat? to my daughter's collection, a book in which every single page says, "Have you seen my cat?" and "This is not my cat!" Absolute torture after three readings. You can entertain your baby and be reminded of your Read more

Now, just a month before Mother's Day, Brad reaches out to his daughter and mothers everywhere with Heroes For My Daughter. In his new book, the father of three profiles 56 people who he believes are worthy of the hero Read more
In terms of Passover books, it's hard to compete with the book that's at the center of the holiday's festivities. While the Haggadah tells the story of the exodus from Egypt, and even adds in some elements of surprise with the 10 plagues and the parting of the Red Sea, it can be a bit overwhelming for lil ones who see the holiday as little more than a week of giving up bread and eating Read more
"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You." Theodor Seuss Geisel's 48 tongue-twisting, rhyming tales have transported tots on journeys to magical locales and inspired generations to pick up a book and read. In honor of what would have been Dr. Seuss's 108th birthday on Friday and the release of The Lorax, we've pulled some of our favorite quotes. See Read more

While a parent reading The Snowy Day to their child in 2012 might not think twice about its societal impact, the book broke racial barriers when it was published 50 years ago. The story itself is a sweet, straightforward one that tells the tale of Peter, the young protagonist, exploring his neighborhood on a snowy day, but the fact that Peter is African American was a bold departure from the Read more
