The Music of the Spheres

Here is a challenge that I probably won't join officially, but that really interests me: The International Year of Astronomy Reading Challenge 2009. Books about astronomy have great titles! Via So Many Books ..

Remember Mimi from the Drew Carey Show? She has been reincarnated as Mrs. P and she has a magic library!
www.MrsP.com is a fun, new children's entertainment site that celebrates reading and books.

The site features TV star Kathy Kinney as Mrs. P, an adventurous redhead who brings Story Time to life with her video library of classic children's stories -- all of which offer special read-along options. Mrs. P's Magic Library has animated games and is a meeting spot for an assortment of quirky, comic characters.

MrsP.com has no ads, and admission is absolutely free -- with no subscription fees.

Visitors to Mrs. P's Library will need a high-speed connection to enjoy all of its features. Her Library is open 24 hours a day, welcomes everyone and has one simple message: reading is cool.

Sounds like parents might want to check the site out.

  6. You find and share the most interesting things, Jenclair. It was fun to hear Mimi - Mrs. P. - tell about meeting the Queen. (See the laugh section on the top left of the bookshelf.

  7. stefanie - She does look thinner, and without all the makeup, her face is so pleasant. They've done a great job with this site.

    booklogged - I missed the one about the queen! I'll have to catch that one on my next visit!
