Are you interested in losing weight gained during pregnancy, raising a child with an adventurous palate or child-rearing the natural way? I may have just the book for you.
The books are starting to pile up again dear readers, and I need your help with reviewing them.
I have a sizable stack of parenting, children's and crafting books up for grabs. Please e-mail me if you're local and interested in reviewing them. Be sure to include your name, city of residence and childrens' ages.
Here are the parenting titles:
"Super Fit Mama: Stay Fit During Pregnancy and Get Your Body Back after Baby" (Lifelong Books, $17.95, 321 pages). Workouts for moms looking to get in shape and back to pre-baby weight, expert advice, meal plans and recipes from fitness expert Tracey Mallett.
"My Two-year-old Eats Octopus: Raising Children Who Love to Eat Everything" (Bull Publishing Company, $16.95, 328 pages). Author Nancy Tringali Piho gives nutrition advice through experience and couples it with research from chefs and food and health professionals.
"Happy Baby: The Organic Guide to Baby's First 24 Months" (Harper, $16.99, 397 pages). Dr. Robert W. Sears and Amy Marlow offer parents a how-to guidebook on child-rearing that's more ecologically friendly for both the baby and the environment. Includes tips for mom on what to eat while nursing, making nurseries more "green," and helping children develop healthier eating habits.
Books from the crafting front:
"Wrapagami" (St. Martin's Griffin, $19.99, 128 pages). You never have to give a dull-looking gift again. Author Jennifer Playford shows how a piece of fabric can turn a gift into a treasure to behold.
"Crafternoon: A Guide to Getting Artsy and Crafty with Your Friends All Year Long" (Simon Spotlight Entertainment, $16,95, 226 pages). A how-to book on creating and hosting casual gatherings that celebrate the art of crafting.
Children's books available for review:
"First Day of School" (HarperFestival, $6.99). Mercer Mayer writes about Little Critter getting ready for the first day. This book would be great to help someone with a child heading to kindergarten in coming days or weeks.
"Build Your Own Paper Robots" (St. Martin's Griffin, $18.95, 96). This craft book comes complete with a CD so kids can download, color, print and build robots. Note: The robot models look pretty complicated, so this is likely not something for a child under 10 years old.
