Learn interesting ways to make reading fun for your child. Tips on how to select great children’s books and activities to help encourage reading.
Discipline is evolving. Years ago, it was the norm that when a child did something that they weren’t supposed to do, he or she was spanked, sent up to bed without dinner, and that was the end of that, until next time.

International Compost Awareness Week (early May) is a perfect time to read Pee Wee’s Great Adventure (ISBN# 0969788339) to groups of children during the various events celebrating the week. This book is the second installment in the series of three children’s books based on the character Pee Wee Worman – who teaches us about vermiculture, or composting with worms. Published by Recycling Resource Service, this book has taken even greater environmental steps during the production phases than the first book of the series (Pee Wee And the Magical Compost Heap).
