The reason being because I put them up so my child isn't cutting what she shouldn't be cutting and then I can't find my hiding places. Her fine motor skills are delayed so learning to cut with... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~443257687684 Sun, 31 Aug 2008 22:35:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_443257687684?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_443241238148?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pablothegreat - Want a magical princess game for your child's Leapster?

As much as she loves learning animal facts, I was not surprised in the least!

This book is not only about dogs nor is it about dessert. It is about how a few animals help humans.

Not to mention a main character who is deaf mute. I really don't know what to think of this movie. It feels wrong to like it but it was pretty good.

Baby kittens. Who can resist this cover picture of a hound dog with droopy ears that has seven kittens climbing all over him? So cute! A warm and fuzzy book with an incredibly sad ending.

They get so excited about anything even junk mail! Of course if an envelope is addressed to them only, it is even more special! That is the reason we have pen pals across the US and one in China so my daughter can send and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~443050724996 Sat, 30 Aug 2008 05:49:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_443050724996?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_443050593924?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pablothegreat - My daughter picked up this children's book at the library with neither of us realizing that there is not a story inside.
