It's a BookIT'S A BOOK by Lane Smith / $12.99 / Hardcover
"It's a book, not an electronic device. It's a donkey and a monkey arguing the merits of real books vs. e-ink. It's kid-friendly humor that will appeal to the kid in all of us. It's artful, it's funny, it's a picture book by an award-winning, best-selling author-illustrator; a book that is promoting literacy and poking fun at people who are glued to their computer screens. It's irreverent, it's funny, it's wonderful. You will want one for everyone you know who loves books and reading." -Gayle

Go! Go! Maria! by Robie H. Harris | Was $16.95 | Now $6.95*
Go! Go! Maria! tells the story of Maria and celebrates her second year of life -- from walking on her own for the very first time to running from room to room, from learning how to say "No!" "Me!" and "Mine!" to asking her big brother Percy "What dat?" to pinching her friend Molly, and to singing her own name on her second birthday. Go! Go! Maria! captures the remarkable story of how 1-year-olds "grow up."
