July 14, 2009
It's Tuesday, and that means it's List Day here at Savvy Source. For today's List, in honor of summer, reading locally and keeping you and your preschoolers occupied indoors to escape the 100+ degree temps, I have compiled a list of books written for preschoolers by members of the Austin Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.

Twosome time! best buddy board books
September 23, 2008
One of the cutest things about the terrible two's is the budding friendships that emerge when your toddler finally realizes there are other people in the world. Little people, just like her, with similar passions and an equally limited vocabulary. What else does one need to relate? Johanna has a best friend. Happily, it's a function of both geography and common interest. In other words, Lena's Read more...
Book Nooks for Tots: Best Story Times and Reading Rooms
May 13, 2008
Sure, you can read to your child 'till you're blue in the face (and you should!) but every once in awhile it's nice to sit back and let the professionals take a crack at it.
