It’s unanimous: the kids adore ImagiTales.
In all fairness, we knew they would. Kids love to see their names and pictures in print; it’s a validation of their burgeoning identities. As one blogger described her daughter’s affinity for photographs and ImagiTales alike: “It doesn’t matter where the picture was taken, as long as she’s [...]
PBS may have branched out in all sorts of directions over the years, but their core competency (as those corporate-types like to say) is literacy education. And while many of us children of the 1970s may miss the old days of The Electric Company, it’s good to see that PBS is still encouraging a [...]
If you’ve chased after your greasy half-lotioned kid at the pool or beach, you’ve probably t thought that there’s just got to be a better option.

As a parent of a soon official preschooler, I’ve been grasping at whatever I can get my hands on to help ease the transition.

Based on the reactions of our bloggers’ children to their newly created ImagiTales books, I was right about the inherent narcissism of little ones:
“The boys loved the books…They’ve taken great delight in pointing out their own and each other’s pictures.”
“[he] ADORES these books. At bedtime, he wildly gestures to the shelf where we keep them, [...]
Kids love to feel special, and it doesn’t take a bounty of toys or an endless supply Happy Meals to make them feel that way. Taking the time to recognize and embrace their uniqueness is a far preferable way to demonstrate our appreciation for their individuality.
One of the greatest ways to send that message [...]
With the sun getting hotter than ever thanks to our thinning ozone, it’s ever so important to get sunscreen on our kids and keep it on them all day long. The only problem is that they’re kids, and trying to get them to stand still for anymore than two seconds is a feat in and [...]
Soon we’ll be launching a review campaign for “Boogie”, Electronic Arts’ new Wii video game. And since this game is designed to get the whole family singing and dancing, laughing and cheering, we can’t think of a better way to start the party than with a Blog Blast!
Anytime today - Friday, August 10 (before [...]
