Please Don't Feed the Mom

Helping you filter through all that you want to, but don't have time to so you can not feel guilty about it. You know that feeling you get when you hear there's something new on the scene that will benefit your child and without it they'll fail life miserably and end up just like you? Never fear - you're not the first Mom to need to go on a parenting "diet." Who has time to read all the experts or blogs? Certainly not me, so don't expect a post every day, but I'll try =)

Does your kid's book destroy the rainforest?

Wow. Can't believe I never thought of this one?...Coincidentally I'm sitting next to a recycle can holding the remains of one Spanish-English flip book that didn't survive a 2 year old's naptime...
The RainForest Action Network (RAN) recently published a guide to the publishers who are and are not rainforest friendly. Sad to see our Puff the Magic Dragon book is not a friend of the trees. Shame on you Puff.
It's a good thing Simon & Schuster's Generation Green edition is!
