Mealtime—“Yummy-in-the-tummy time”—is an opportunity to teach young children two major life skills: nutrition and table manners. Simple but important mealtime routines come to life as the toddlers in this book remember to wash their hands, use a napkin and fork or spoon, stay at the table, and eat healthy foods.

Toddlers also learn the one big rule for mealtime: Always try one bite (“You just might like it!”). Parents and caregivers want toddlers to develop healthy eating habits and positive mealtime routines. This book helps them do so with Verdick’s keen ability to speak directly to little ones and Heinlen’s delightful, appealing illustrations. Includes tips for parents and caregivers.

Wiggly Time taps into toddlers' inherent love of play and silliness, and the ideas can be used for a fun break, at transition times, or anytime.

Walk like a dinosaur, stomp, clomp, BOOM. " Try "Sun's out, let's melt" to encourage floor time and relaxation.

Wiggly Time also includes helpful tips for parents, teachers, and caregivers about making movement fun and part of their everyday routine.

After several months aboard Greydon's ship, it was attacked by a deadly band of raiders known as the Hidden, leaving Aram and Second Mate Makasa Flintwill shipwrecked. But of even greater concern are the unanswered questions his father left behind. Who are the Hidden? And what of the strange compass Greydon gave to him, the compass that doesn't point north?
