Not sure what to do tonight without the World Series…sleep might be a good idea! All of this baseball reminded me of one our Platinum Award winners, Testing the Ice, A True Story About Jackie Robinson written by his daughter Sharon (published by Scholastic) . Read our review.

We’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). 
Pick of the Day: Stack 'n Surprise Count 'n Build Snail Pail
If you’re looking for a game that will be fun to play with your older baby (8 months) and younger toddler…bring home the new Stack’ n Surprise Count ‘n Build Snail Pail. It’s just right for fill and spill games. In the beginning you’ll be doing most of the stacking…but filling is a great deal of fun for sitting up babies. The pieces are just the right size…and the clear container makes is fun to see where they go! For a full review, visit www.toyportfolio.com. This set won an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award.
