the hipster parents’ guide to children’s books

I’m doing it, dear blog friends. I’m starting to just go ahead and review more stuff. On my other blog.

Some stuff will be my own stuff, some will be stuff I borrowed from the library or from friends. Some will be gifts given by people I know and love. And some I’ll score from marketing folks looking to get exposure for their products. This can be very controversial. Longtime readers may remember that I felt conflicted about the togs we got to review for free (and keep) from Kenneth Cole a while back. The deal is, if I get it for free, I’ll tell you. I’ll try to be honest about the product, but as anyone who has gotten free stuff in exchange for a blog review knows, it’s a tough line to toe. So, y’all just let me know if you don’t believe my gushing. ‘kay? And, FYI: I’m more likely to write about something I like than to pan something I don’t like because good karma travels, and bad karma makes enemies and risks slander lawsuits.

So there we are. Click the text below to visit my review of the day. And let me know if I should keep or ditch the monkeys.

There are so very many good (and bad) children’s books. And then there are a few that so tip the scales on hipster street cred, for various reasons (beat poetry text, ironic plot twists) that they deserve their own special round up. Click here to view my nominees for the category.
