MSNBC.com is reporting that there is a national Baby Food Recall.

Plum Organics is recalling some of its apple and carrot portable pouch baby food because of concerns over possible botulism contamination. The product was sold individually throughout the country at Toys-R-Us and Babies-R-Us stores.

Consumers should not use these products, even if they appear to be normal, because of the possible health risk.

The recalled product is sold in 4.22-ounce pouches, with a "best by" date of May 21, 2010, and UPC 890180001221.

Poems and Drawings
Where the Sidewalk Ends 30th Anniversary Edition: Poems and Drawings by Shel Silverstein (Author, Illustrator)


I remember buying this book for my daughter like it was yesterday, even though it was almost twenty years ago. But neither she or I have out grown this, or any of the other Shel Silverstein books that we own. This one being the first in our collection it is the most magical.

If you are a dreamer, come in,
If you are a dreamer,
A wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er,
A magic bean buyer . . .


Come in . . . for where the sidewalk ends, Shel Silverstein's world begins.

Children's Book in the Spot Light - A Light in the Attic

A Light in the Attic
A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein (Author, Illustrator)


Last night while I lay thinking here
Some Whatifs crawled inside my ear
And pranced and partied all night long
And sang their same old Whatif song:


Whatif I flunk that test?
Whatif green hair grows on my chest?
Whatif nobody likes me?
Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me?...

From the creator of the beloved poetry collections Where the Sidewalk Ends and Falling Up, here is another wondrous book of poems and drawings. And I really can't recommend these books any more highly then I do. If I could I would give this series of books to every kid. And I'm willing to bet that most kids will love them.
