Cool Mom Picks From January 2008
Bloomin' Cute
It’s not coincidental that Bloom: A Little Book About Finding Love, comes out just in time for February's Hallmark holiday. And yet Dutch-born author/illustrator Maria Van Lieshout’s sweet little tome on loving the one you're with will delight kids the rest of the year as well

Shiny Happy People Dreaming Jam Band
Imagine if the B-52's, Abba, REM and Devo moved into a house with four keyboards and a giant dress-up closet. And then imagine that they sang Beatles and Queen and Carpenters songs and sometimes rapped.
