Parents are the first, and most important teachers of their children, not only directly teaching, but choosing products for their children. For preschoolers, the distinction between education and entertainment is subtle. Children of this age group are learning constantly, and the more enjoyment they get from what they watch, read, listen to, or interact with, the more they will take in, and learn. This site looks at a range of resources and media aimed at that critical age before school is started, and assesses the educational and entertainment value of these products. There are also profiles of the artists, writers, and performers involved, interviews, and lots of links to help parents become more informed consumers, choosing the most appropriate products to help give their preschooler a terrific learning head-start.

A review of Annabel Karmel’s Complete Family Meal Planner

Reviews of Books
Cooking fancy meals for unappreciative children can begin to wear thin (and make you want to dish out any old thing), and Annabel Karmel’s latest book is a perfect antidote for that. It’s a cookbook full of fast, fun, healthy recipes that your children (and everyone else) will cheer you for making.

Reviews of Books
Crossing a rivulet, daisies in the grass, a picnic beneath a tree, friends with whom to share everything from food to fun, a spring shower, as well as a lightning storm, finding potential from the precedent, and creating something new from something old, finding the excellent when there seems to be only awful, watching the moon climb and pondering; every one is part of this appealing, child like account.

Reviews of CDs
Children of all ages will enjoy this tale, which is well crafted and full of suspense and drama. Lancelot is a richly drawn character, whose transformation is powerful. He loses his arm during the course of the story, and is frightened, humbled, and hurt, but he also gains wisdom, courage, and deep understanding.



A review of The Book of Grandparents

Reviews of Books
Though the parenting experience has been well explored in literature, there hasn’t been much on the delights of grandparenting. This relatively small book fills that gap, and provides a series of brief, easy to read, and often pithy and personal essays by well known Australians on their experience in becoming grandparents.
