As an aunt of 3 nephews and a new niece, I am always looking for great gifts that will not only be fun but also educational. Well, there's also the cute stuff too. I haven't been able to stop shopping for baby clothes since my friends' have been pregnant! However, I'm a huge fan of the fun educational stuff. Kids pick up the most when they're young and it's when their minds are being moulded. So if they're going to watch DVD's and play, why not give them the stuff that helps them learn and gives them an advantage in school later on? I have four of these sets from PBS Kids to introduce to my readers today.

Turkey Trot #Giveaway Hop Sponsor Spotlight: #Scholastic #Storybook #Treasures #Review

 

I loved to read as a child, getting lost in the stories and off on an adventure I'd go. So, I really enjoy working with books and quality book companies like Scholastic Storybook Treasures who bring reading into the homes of children via read-along DVD's. I actually never even knew these existed but what better way to capture your little one's attention and teach them to read or improve on their reading skills at the same time?

Daddy A Go Go -Grandkid Rock Childrens' CD Review

Former CNN producer John Boydston gave up his job long ago to become a stay-at-home dad and leading advocate for kids rock and roll music and are we glad he did! John Boydston's, aka Daddy a Go Go, newest CD is called "Grandkid Rock" and is comprised of 16 of his all-time best tracks from his 7 previous albums, many of which have won awards in the past. Five of his past CDs have actually made Amazon.com's "Best of the year" critics' list. He started out in 1998 when his sons were ages 3 and 5 and now his sons are teenagers and helping out in the band! Talk about being family oriented! The  tracks on "Grandkid Rock" are suggested for children ages 3-10 and have a total runtime of 40 minutes.

Its not your typical children's tunes as it has a feel of classic rock and yes, in my humble opinion, a slightly country feel in some of the songs. However, I do love the guitar music in this and I can see parents that are fans of classic 60's rock loving it just as well. LOL, my parents always told me I loved rock music as a kid and I was the crazy little kid that always danced and sang as much as I could when I heard my favorite songs and I tell you, this would probably be on my list of favs as well. :)


Filled with humor and rhymes, I'm sure everyone in the family will enjoy singing along and dancing to this one! Go give Daddy a Go Go a visit and listen to his samples online and you'll see what I mean!

Visit Daddy a Go Go.


Buy It: Grandkid Rock can be purchased for $11.99 from Amazon.com, CDbaby.com, and daddyagogo.com, iTunes and specialty toy and bookstores April 19, 2011.
