Just a Couple of Reasons...

...you might want to consider ordering A Picture Perfect Childhood this month.

(1) It's a pretty awesome way to start the new year with pre-arranged booklists starting in January and taking you and your family all the way to forever.

Booklists such as:

1. Children's Hour (A 12-Month Historical Timeline along with supplementary reading in subjects like science, art, music, poetry, geography, nature, language arts...even math and Shakespeare)
2. Teaching Virtues Through Picture Books
3. List for Teenaged Readers and Reluctant Readers
4. Monthly fairy tale, myth, and tall tale
5. Never-Ending List of Children's Authors & Illustrators
6. Expansive Subject-Based List
7. Spanning the Globe (take a tour around the globe with picture books)
8. Pack Your Suitcase and Read Across America (travel the 50 United States with picture books as your guide)
9. Let's Get Cooking with Literature (Picture Books about Cooking and Recipes ~ My personal favorite list) Here's a taste of the monthly selections:
   
• January: Gumbos & Soups
• February: Pancakes
• March: Breads
• April: Sweets to the Sweet
• May: Cakes
• June: Thirst Quenchers & Summer Snacks
• July: Variety
• August: Cultural Foods
• September: Apple Harvest
• October: Autumn Treasures & Pumpkins
• November: Thanksgiving Time
• December: Holiday Yummies & Christmas Cookies (which the girls and I are using right now)
10. More, more, & more

(2) We have an awesome charity we're donating to. Again this year, we---together, all of us---will be purchasing a generous amount of picture books to ship to St. Jude's Hospital for the New 2010 Year. How do you contribute to these purchases? When you purchase a copy of A Picture Perfect Childhood, a percentage of the sale goes toward purchasing new picture books to be sent to the hospital. Thank you again for helping us to do something for these children who, at Christmastime, belong to all of us.

(3) After two years in publication, PPC is still selling well and the reviews are pretty awesome too. And more. Merci! :-)
