“Near the forfront of the next generation of parenting tools...Red Tricycle is not your mother's parenting aide. Readers are razr-phone-toting, book-club-joining moms who at least know what a blackberry is."
Seattle Post Intelligencer April 2006
Thank you for being so smart, clever and witty! I’m enjoying my subscription and appreciate what you’re doing.
Your information reads like YOU are having fun and that’s worth a lot! Thanks for many good ideas.

The King is (Not) Dead
The retro-cool ukulele is currently having another moment in the sun. Not since Elvis strummed one in Blue Hawaii in the `60s, has the tiny stringed instrument had such a groovy image. Get your kids in on the action by visiting Dusty Springs, the acoustic music shop in Fremont, where a new batch of colorful Mahalo ukes is waiting.
The
folks at Dusty Strings say the maple-wood instruments make
sweet gifts for young ones; they come in green, black, purple,
orange and powder pink (from $29.95 each). Best pick up a
copy of The Complete Ukulele Course for Kids DVD, too ($29.99).
Unless your child has natural born talent akin to The King,
that is.
