Educated Kid
This indie band of three hails from the Bay area, and while they aren't a household name (yet!), we're betting it won't be long. Handpicked to grace the kids' stage at Lollapalooza, it's no surprise that they've got a hip-factor that will keep parents rocking out along with their kids.
A Practical Guide to Dragon Riding
A follow up to the runaway hit, "A Practical Guide to Dragons", this delightful tome details everything your child needs to know in order to find, train, and raise a dragon, including in-depth directions for diet and exercise. Enter a fantastical world and set your child's imagination soaring!
Toy Dance Party
This early chapter book is a delightful look into the secret lives of playthings. Lumphy the buffalo, Stingray the stuffed stingray and Plastic the bouncy ball will capture your child's heart, and their silly antics will have your whole family laughing. Great as a read-aloud or a read-alone.
