The Internet is such a vast and powerful resource that it
can be intimidating for those just wading in for the first time.
This book is a superb introductory guide that is filled with well-written
advice that is novice friendly. There
are ideas for making those first explorative searches bear fruit.
Families who are looking for ideas to turn computer time into time well
spent will really enjoy this book. The
terminology that is so often thrown about in today's Internet lexicon is
explained patiently so that you too will be jabbering about URL's, ISP's, DSL's
and more. This book should be on
the shopping list of anyone who is headed home from the store with his or her
first Internet-ready computer.

Great!
Over and over our parent testers report back to us that
this parenting book was a pleasure to read.
They thoroughly enjoyed spending time with such a positive and uplifting
book. Zimmy's guide is simply laid
out with straightforward advice about what adults can do to nurture the children
in their care. The messages are
clear and filled with warmth and assurance.
As you read you can feel the gentle guidance written in. Parents felt that the ideas presented would be easy to
implement in their homes. Furthermore
they told us that they felt confident, that if they followed Zimmy's advice,
their kids would grow up to be self-confident adults.
You can't ask for much more than that.

Mighty-TiteSunshine
Kids Juvenile Products
Here is a product that is long overdue, and as we found
out, very enthusiastically received. Mighty-Tite
is one of those ideas that make so much sense it’s amazing no one created it
before now. Doing exactly as
advertised, Mighty-Tite takes up the slack from the seat belts that hold your
children's car seats in place. The
result is a snuggly held seat that won't wobble or sway with the movement of the
car. The Mighty-Tite attaches in a
snap, and ratchets tight with ease. If you need to move the seat, the release is a simple
operation. This is a great product
that you will be glad you discovered.

Grandloving:
Making Memories with your GrandchildrenHeartstrings
Press
For all the superb parenting books that have hit the
market in the last ten years, there haven't been many that address grandparent's
needs. Grandloving authors Sue
Johnson and Julie Carlson change all that in their wonderful soft cover book of
tips, activity ideas and other suggestions for making memories.
Grandparents who thought they knew it all told us time and again how
pleasantly surprised they were to discover all sorts of ideas to enhance the
precious moments they had with their grandchildren.
There are great suggestions for communicating with children on the phone,
breaking the ice and keeping the conversation flowing.
After reading about and playing Happy Face Pancake making, Submerged
Sights or the "That Doesn't Belong" game, grandparents were
enthusiastically recommending this book to all.
Price: $16.95
