51oB0EijPDL._SL500_AA240_We just started laughing when Amy Gray’s new book, How to be a Vampire: A Fangs-On Guide for the Newly Undead came across our desk. You have to know tweens, teens and young adults to know that vampires are all the rage.

The book is marked for kids 12 and up.  You have to be in the zone to appreciate the humor of such topics as “Dos and Don’t of dating a mortal” and “What’s Your Vampire Persona?”…of course you may not find the page on “Finding the Perfect Sire” appropriate for your teen–so I’d recommend taking a look at this one first.

Of course it will be the perfect holiday present for my 21 year old niece!

Rec_maisytoysspanish-1We’ve always been huge fans of Maisy….and we’re thrilled that Maisy is now bilingual.  Maisy’s Toys is just one of the titles available in Spanish. These are perfect books for toddlers and preschoolers.  At $5.99, this is a great investment for your child’s own library.  Read the review. We’ll be sure to add some of these titles to the next edition of our book, ¡A Leer! !A Jugar!  (Read It! Play It! with Babies and Toddlers). 0972105050
