- Goodnight Moon — Do you love the red balloon and the old lady whispering hush?

- Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs — Have your kids rolling around in bed thinking about overcooked broccoli falling from the sky.
Texts and Tunes: Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
In continuing with the Children's Book Week theme, our next book is a wonderful story for an older audience. Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs ($7) is a book that most grade school children will enjoy. The humorous tale keeps kids laughing throughout the book.

Give Your Child a Name Friends and Family Don't Like?
Nine months is enough time to come up with a name. At least, that is how long nature allows. During those 40 weeks, moms and dads rattle their brains and flip through the pages of books to find and agree on the perfect moniker for their impending bundle of joy.
Summer Reading: Tots Choose Favorite Books by Age Group

10 More Things Mamas Took For Granted Before Children

Parenting Q&A: Working Parents Want Max Time With Tot

babysugar Diaries: Vaccines
Every parent does what they think is best for their child. With my firstborn that meant giving her vaccinations as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Perhaps two years of media got to me, or maybe it was Jenny McCarthy and all of the other parents of children with autism that made me a tad wary of vaccinations.
Texts and Tunes: Books to Usher in Passover
With Passover Seders just a week away, Jewish families are preparing their homes for the eight night commemoration of the exodus from Egypt. The holiday is one of the few religious holidays that has a distinctive role for children with both the reading of the four questions and the search for the afikomen (the broken middle piece of matzoh that is hidden prior to the Seder). While your tot may be too young to do the four questions this year, there are plenty of books to help introduce them to the Spring holiday and teach them about Moses, Pharaoh and the ten plagues.
