recipes guaranteed to make Mom feel faint.
First, let me state that that I am absolutely certain books in ALL forms of paper are here to stay. NO QUESTION. Cuddling at bedtime, a child in your arms and a beloved book between you, is one of life's great pleasures. The memories these story times bring live with us for a lifetime.
However, there are other times and other places - car travel, rainy days, summer boredom etc. These days your child is computer savvy, the world is advancing in mega bites. Reading a cool new flip book (e-book) on a screen will often HOOK a kid who otherwise might not bother reading. What I am getting at, is that there should always be room for a well written book - whether on CD, download, or in good old paper.
Sure, I know e-readers like the Amazon Kindle are high priced. And readers that show picture books in color are few, and WAY out of most people's price range -
at the moment. This will change. Believe it or not, we are only at the dawn of the electronic age. Remember the price of TVs and microwaves when they first came on the market? WHEW!! Now everyone can afford them.
Meanwhile, while you wait for e-reader prices to drop, and color to bloom on their screens, reading a short picture book on a computer or laptop is no hardship -
E-Books are a thrifty pleasure, it's GREEN,
anddoing it SAVES TREES!

Most can’t display more than a handful of different shades of gray.
That’s why display makers are racing to bring color to the world of e-books. Their goal is to make Gray’s Anatomy and its more than 1,200 full-color illustrations as interesting as the next Dan Brown novel. . .
