When is the library open? Where are the library branches?
How can I sign my child up for the Summer Reading Program? I want to find a good book, video, DVD or CD on parenting.
My child needs help with his or her homework.
I am looking for a book to help my child cope with a challenging situation. When is storytime? Are there other library activities for children and parents? What can I do to prepare my child for reading?

But she does like to feel big. Kate feels big when discovers big sisters can be a big help. Kate knows just which blanket to bring Daniel when he cries and she makes funny faces and sillies while he gets his diaper changed.

Love
That Baby! A book
about babies for new brothers, sisters, cousins, and friends (new baby in the family) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Babies are a little bit strange. They suck their fingers, and sometimes their toes. They only eat one kind of food – milk. And they babble all the time! This book answers questions like: Why do babies cry? What do babies eat? Why do babies need so much sleep? Lasky gives kids lots of ideas of what to do with the new baby in their family. They can play peek-a-boo, clap for them, do this-little-piggy with their toes, or just give them something fun to bang on. Having a new baby in the family can be hard, but giving older kids some understanding of the infant’s needs and how they can help, might just make things a little easier. The goofy illustrations throughout match the text’s fun-loving tone. -Hillary 11/06 |
