Some ammunition for your emergent literacy elevator speech.

Study finds that Baby Einstein videos are actually bad for babies.

What is good for babies (i.e., increases their vocabulary), shockingly enough, is being read to, spoken to, and interacted with. (And then, hopefully, they grow up knowing better than to end their sentences with prepositions.)

Great storytime resource.

In my online wanderings, I came across this

pronunciation guide to authors' names.

It features short recordings of authors pronouncing their own names. You will never have to fumble during a booktalk or storytime again! Unless, of course, your chosen author is not listed. In that case, you will simply have to call them up and ask them.
