and you'll need a perfect baby gift? Are you pregnant and contemplating
your child's first books?

It's a shame this post is couched in such marketing-speak, because the
website is actually genuinely useful. It's written by a librarian, and
the books recommended are all ones I found truly excellent as well.

Thanks for the recommendation. We're experimenting with the blog to see
if it can be useful and to see if we can make any money at it (none so
far). My wife is writing the blog and I'm trying to give it some
visibility.

The topics are based partly on her experience as a childrens librarian
(she runs a "Babies and Books" program at our library that brings in
about 150 people a week, and she occassionally offers a pre-natal
"story hour" to educate new parents about reading to children. She also
selects childrens books for the county library system.)

Other topics are based on volunteer work she does at our children's K-8
school, which is where much of her attention is going at the moment, so
there's a pretty strong teacher focus on the blog.

For a bit more shameless promotion, here's a list of books relating to
friendships for young children:

Here's an article on Bibliotherapy she wrote for the Horn Book
Magazine:

If you have questions about books and babies, or reading aloud, let me
know.
