So Thankful for New Picture Books!

We notice many families find it hard to walk past the new picture books on display without picking one up.  Ahhh, the lure of a new book!  The stories, the illustrations, the crisp pages, the scent of fresh ink...  (Nope, it's not just you!)

PAR-TAY!: Dance of the Veggies (and Their Friends)

Would it surprise you to come home with your family one night and discover that all the veggies in your fridge were party animals, uhm, vegetables?  Really, you can imagine a string bean showing off some rad hip-hop moves, right?  Or a band comprised of a tomato, eggplant, basil, and Swiss chard?  Families with even the pickiest eaters are guaranteed to enjoy these dance floor antics, and perhaps some young skeptics will even be convinced to try a nibble of asparagus.
