		<description><![CDATA[On a recent Saturday night, Lauren was at work and I let Allison stay up late with me on the couch.  As we watched the Graham Norton Show on BBC America, Allison took note of their English accents and wondered why they &#8220;sounded funny.&#8221; I told her that the people on this show were from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night, Allison and I finally sat down to wrap the presents we got for Lauren, Jesse and Max. I&#8217;m thinking she was a little bit punchy from a combination of being up late, a few extra Christmas cookies, plus the fact that I finally gave her carte blanche to work the tape dispenser. Either [...]]]></description>

I find I&#8217;M getting to the ends of chapters and saying to Allison, &#8220;You wanna read just one more?&#8221; But the name of the human Princess in this book&#8217;s name [...]]]></description>

It’s not just that Knock-Knock jokes are inherently unfunny.  But because the setup is so dang simple, kids feel like it [...]]]></description>
