Spaghetti is yummy, but worms - and blue crayons, and sand, and other things too gross to mention - are definitely yucky when tasted. Amiably illustrated in a bright, graphic style, Leslie Patricelli’s spirited board book, YUMMY YUCKY stars an obliging, bald, and very expressive toddler who acts out each pair of opposites with comically dramatic effect. Learning about opposites has never been more fun - or funny - than with this winning board book. Yummy!

It’s time to learn how to "Monkey Dance" and do the "Shaky Shaky." Ever wonder how to handle a "Hot Potato" or make a "Fruit Salad?" From way "down under" comes the #1 children’s entertainment name in Australia – THE WIGGLES! Murray, Jeff, Anthony and Greg will have children singing, laughing and grooving to funny tunes about numbers, food and favorite animal friends. Joining them in this ultra-hip, live-action video are special guests Dorothy, Wags, Henry and Captain Feathersword. Millions of Brit and Aussie kids can’t be wrong – this fabulous foursome is the hottest musical import since John, Paul, George and Ringo! Approx. Run Time: 36 minutes
For the non-Australians out there, the Wiggles are a quartet of male songbirds reminiscent of the Monkees, but aimed at the Barney-watching set. The Down Under foursome sings about mashed bananas and hot potatoes, dances with the energy of fitness instructors, and makes mild attempts at being educational. (Three of the four met while studying early childhood education.) Their stab at multiculturalism results in the Jewish song "Havenu Shalom Alachem." Joining them are a big green dinosaur named Dorothy (seem familiar?), Henry the giant purple octopus, Wags the Dog, and a man in a pirate suit called Captain Feathersword. The songs are catchy, the dancing vigorous, and the outfits colorful approximations of the uniforms worn by the original crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise. A couple of the haircuts look like they might have been acquired on the spaceship as well. The 15-song video runs 33 minutes long and claims to be appropriate for ages 1-8, but will most likely appeal to preschoolers and kindergartners. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Make way for the Yummy Mummies. They've got top-of-the-line strollers and they push them with perfectly manicured hands. Their babies sleep peacefully while they indulge in elegant lunches with other yummy mummies, and they have close personal relationships with their trainers. Weeks after giving birth, they have the flat stomachs of 18 year olds, and whatever fine lines might reveal a higher age bracket get fixed...pronto, if pricily. Yummy Mummy is a funny and poignant true-to-life novel about Amy Crane, bored and overweight new mother who doesn-t seem to be acing the motherhood test. Six months after giving birth she doesn't feel any more like herself than she did when she came home from the hospital. Amy loves her baby, but she's not so sure how she feels about her baby's father. She even suspects him of having an affair. When Amy spies a perfectly groomed mother - in every way Amy's polar opposite in perfection--Amy gets her first glimpse of a Yummy Mummy. Inspired, she enlists the help of a new friend, well acquainted with the ways of yummy mummies, to help her graduate from breast pads to Botox. As she shapes up her exterior, Amy finds her sexual impulses awakening from a long nap, which plunges her relationship into further crisis. Forced to look inside - beyond the caesarian scar and the cellulite - Amy must make a decision once and for all what is most precious to her, and figure out how to rescue it before it's too late.

In the tradition of Little Earthquakes, Babyville and I Don't Know How She Does It: the effervescent, canny, and downright delightful debut of Polly Williams, a spirited new voice in women's fiction.
Amy Crane's daughter, the exquisite and sweet-tempered Evie, is six months old. any Amy -- who's trying to decide whether to resume her high-pressure job in PR -- adores her. But these days, Amy doesn't exactly adore herself. Even worse, the whole time she's feeling invisible and about as attractive as a barnyard animal, Amy suspects that Evie's father, Joe, is having an affair. Then Amy meets Alice, who seems to have this mommy thing down: She's single-girl-slender, for one thing, with groomed eyebrows, a smooth forehead, and killer clothes. Plus she has a sex life. In short, she's a Yummy Mummy, one of a new breed who manage to make motherhood look positively sexy. Under Alice's tutelage, Amy discovers that she's got some yumminess of her own. Joe takes notice, as does her handsome Pilates instructor. But once Amy's libido awakens from its extended slumber, a whole new set of problems develops. Filled with acute perceptions of the challenges faced by new moms, as well as the uniquely terrifying landscape of new motherhood, The Yummy Mummy is as endearing -- and as refreshing -- as a baby who sleeps through the night.
