Books of the Week – April 3, 2010

The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss:How is it possible that I went my entire 37 years without reading this book? I’m a huge Dr. Seuss fan, even more so now than I was as a child. This book is basically a tale about how important it is to take care of our environment, focusing mainly on pollution. It also talks a bit about greed and the trouble it can cause. M enjoyed it and has asked for it several times.
The Little Red Caboose, by Marian Potter:
We are now the owners of this classic Little Golden Book, and since M loves all things train-related (really, who doesn’t?) it’s a big hit with him. The little red caboose feels sorry for itself, always being at the end of the train, but ends up being a hero (and finding contentment in being himself), when it saves the train from falling down a mountain. And the illustrations are adorable!
Check out Mouse Grows, Mouse Learns for more book recommendations!
Have a beautiful day! :)

Online Degrees is a website “dedicated to helping students find the best accredited online college to pursue their associate's, bachelor's, or graduate degree.”  (Taken from their home page here.)

On top of this basic mission of Online Degrees, they have articles on education and a recently started blog where various aspects of education are discussed.

Their most recent article is titled “50 Best Blogs for Early Childhood” and Tired, Need Sleep is listed along with 49 other wonderful blogs!  I’m anxious to go check them out, and I hope you will too! :)

Thank you all for reading this silly little blog of mine… I’m continually surprised at how many real friends I’ve made through blogging.
