Hoot! Hoot!

Little Pea charmed children with his distaste for all sugary treats and love of veggies. Now, here comes Little Hoot, who has only one complaint against his parents: they won't let him go to bed early! As an owl, it's his duty to stay up late and play. Playful text and charming illustrations make Little Hoot a wonderful bedtime read for little ones who have trouble falling asleep. Read an interview with Amy Krouse Rosenthal, the author behind Little Hoot and Little Pea, and watch an exclusive video she made herself! Catch her in Atlanta at IRA for your personalized copy of Little Hoot.

Grow Up, Mom and Dad!

Three reasons it rocks to be a teenager:
1. You're not a kid anymore.
2. You don't have to pay taxes.
3. When you're in a bad mood, you can just blame it on "being a teenager."

Sarah Burningham, the author of How To Raise Your Parents, knows what it's like to clash with her parents. Now in her 20s, she survived her teenage years and wrote the book to share advice and tips on hot issues between teens and parents, including chapters on curfew, drivers' licenses, and the internet. (You may have even seen the book advertised in the spring issue of Teen magazine!) You can watch a video, get tips, take a fun quiz to find out what type of parents you have, and ask questions of the auther here. See if Sarah's coming to a city near you this May.
