Blast from the Past Week: Pippi Longstocking
by Catherine

Father’s Day Gift: Cooking With Beer
by Catherine

A cookbook for Dad for Father’s Day? No way. Yes way because this cookbook uses beer in its recipes, which just may be incentive enough to get Dad to cook.

by Catherine
Another great Father’s Day book directed towards fathers and sons. In this sweet book, a boy and his dad’s nightly ritual includes retelling of how when Henry was small… they would use Henry as a chess piece.

Gallop! a Scanimation Delight
by Catherine
