Enjoy these, our editorsโ favorite books, music, and DVDs of the year to help keep our kids entertained and educated. And frankly, us too.
Books for little kids
Even after reading it oh, every night for a month, my youngest daughter still laughs at the ending Tuck Me In by Dean Hacohen (at top). And sheโs a tough critic. โLiz
ABC is for Circus gives a welcome twist to the gazillion other regular old ABC books. D is for Daredevil? Awesome. โKristen
Books for big kids
Phillipe Lechermeirโs The Secret Lives of Princesses offers sophisticated, witty bios of alternative princesses. The kinds not-ready-for-Disney. I like that. โLiz
Given my oldest daughterโs love for blogger and mom Kate Inglisโ book The Dread Crew, itโs no surprise that weโre highly anticipating its sequel โ coming soon! -Kristen
Music
You can find all ten of my votes for best kids music of 2010 right here, featuring top picks from Justin Roberts, The Okee Dokee Brothers, and Recess Monkeys. And donโt forget a couple of late-2010 releases like Frances Englandโs Mind of My Own and Caspar Babypantsโ This is Fun! โChristina
Movies and DVDs for Kids
Surprisingly, I canโt give my vote to Sex and the City 2. (I know! Youโre shocked!) Instead, Iโm going with The Princess and the Frog, because I admit that any time my kids ask for an animated movie, Iโm secretly hoping it will be this one and notโฆwell, others.
My hatโs off to Toy Story 3โnot just for making me bawl like a baby but for giving us a movie that our whole entire family could really truly enjoy (and cry together at). -Kristen
